1 Scope
The present document specifies the measurement procedures for the conformance test of the user equipment (UE) that
contain RF characteristics for carrier aggregation between Range 1 and Range 2 and additional requirements for EN-
DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC.

The requirements are listed in different clauses only if the corresponding parameters deviate. More generally, tests are
only applicable to those mobiles that are intended to support the appropriate functionality. To indicate the circumstances
in which tests apply, this is noted in the "definition and applicability" part of the test.

For example only Release 15 and later UE declared to support 5G-NR shall be tested for this functionality. In the event
that for some tests different conditions apply for different releases, this is indicated within the text of the test itself.

4 General

4.1 Relationship between minimum requirements and test


requirements
TS 38.101-3 [4] is interwork specification for NR UE, covering RF characteristics and minimum performance
requirements. Conformance to TS 38.101-3 [4] is demonstrated by fulfilling the test requirements specified in the
present document.

The Minimum Requirements given in TS 38.101-3 [4] make no allowance for measurement uncertainty (MU). The
present document defines test tolerances (TT). These test tolerances are individually calculated for each test. The test
tolerances are used to relax the minimum requirements in TS 38.101-3 [4] to create test requirements. For some
requirements, including regulatory requirements, the test tolerance is set to zero.

The measurement results returned by the test system are compared - without any modification - against the test
requirements as defined by various levels of "Shared Risk" principle as described below.

a) Core specification value is not relaxed by any relaxation value (TT=0). For each single measurement, the
probability of a borderline good UE being judged as FAIL equals the probability of a borderline bad UE being
judged as PASS.

- Test tolerances equal to 0 (TT=0) are considered in this specification.

b) Core specification value is relaxed by a relaxation value (TT>0). For each single measurement, the probability of
a borderline bad UE being judged as PASS is greater than the probability of a borderline good UE being judged
as FAIL.

- Test tolerances lower than measurement uncertainty and greater than 0 (0 < TT < MU) are considered in this
specification.

- Test tolerances high up to measurement uncertainty (TT = MU) are considered in this specification which is
also known as "Never fail a good DUT" principle.

c) Core specification value is tightened by a stringent value (TT<0). For each single measurement, the probability
of a borderline good UE being judged as FAIL is greater than the probability of a borderline bad UE being
judged as PASS.

- Test tolerances lower than 0 (TT<0) are not considered in this specification.

The "Never fail a good DUT" and the "Shared Risk" principles are defined in Recommendation ITU-R M.1545 [21].

4.2 Applicability of minimum requirements


a) In TS 38.101-3 [4] the Minimum Requirements are specified as general requirements and additional
requirements. Where the Requirement is specified as a general requirement, the requirement is mandated to be
met in all scenarios

b) For specific scenarios for which an additional requirement is specified, in addition to meeting the general
requirement, the UE is mandated to meet the additional requirements.

c) The spurious emissions power requirements are for the long-term average of the power. For the purpose of
reducing measurement uncertainty, it is acceptable to average the measured power over a period of time
sufficient to reduce the uncertainty due to the statistical nature of the signal.

d) Terminal that supports EN-DC configuration shall meet E-UTRA requirements as specified in TS 36.101 [5] and
NR requirements as in TS 38.101-1 [2] and TS 38.101-2 [3] unless otherwise specified in TS 38.101-3 [4].

e) All the requirements for intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous EN-DC or NE-DC apply under the
assumption of the same uplink-downlink and special subframe configurations in the E-UTRA and slot format
indicated by UL-DL-configurationCommon and UL-DL-configurationDedicated in the NR for the EN-DC or
NE-DC.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 21 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

f) For EN-DC or NE-DC combinations with CA configurations for E-UTRA and/or NR, all the requirements for E-
UTRA and/or NR all the requirements for E-UTRA and/or NR intra-band contiguous and non-contiguous CA
apply under the assumption of the same slot format indicated by UL-DL-configurationCommon and UL-DL-
configurationDedicated in the PSCell and SCells for NR and the same uplink-downlink and special subframe
configurations in PCell and SCells for E-UTRA.

A terminal which supports an EN-DC or NE-DC configuration shall support:

- If any subsets of the EN-DC or NE-DC configuration do not specify its own bandwidth combination sets in 5.3B,
then the terminal shall support the same E-UTRA bandwidth combination sets it signals the support for in E-UTRA CA
configuration part of E-UTRA – NR DC and shall support the same NR bandwidth combination sets it signals the
support for in NR CA configuration part of E-UTRA – NR DC.

- Else if one of the subsets of the EN-DC or NE-DC configuration specify its own bandwidth combination sets in
5.3B, then the terminal shall support a product set of channel bandwidth for each band specified by E-UTRA bandwidth
combination sets, NR bandwidth combination sets, and EN-DC or NE-DC bandwidth combination sets it signals the
support.

A terminal which supports an inter-band EN-DC or NE-DC configuration with a certain UL configuration shall support
the all lower order DL configurations of the lower order EN-DC or NE-DC combinations, which have this certain UL
configuration and the fallbacks of this UL configuration.

A terminal which supports NE-DC configurations shall meet the minimum requirements for corresponding EN-DC
configuration, unless otherwise specified.

For CA or DC configurations, which include FR2 intra-band CA combinations with multiple FR2 subblocks, where at
least one of the subblocks is contiguous CA combination.

- if the field partialFR2-FallbackRX-Req is not present, the UE shall meet all applicable UE RF requirements for
the highest order CA configuration and all associated fallback CA configurations;

- if the field partialFR2-FallbackRX-Req is present, for each FR2 intra-band CA configuration with multiple sub-
blocks that the UE indicates support for explicitly in UE capability signalling: the in-gap UE RF requirements in
clauses 7.5A, 7.5B, 7.6A, 7.6B apply as the equivalent requirements for the associated fallback FR2 intra-band
CA configurations with the same number of sub-blocks, where at least one of the sub-blocks consists of a
contiguous CA configuration. The UE shall meet all applicable UE RF requirements for fallback CA
configurations with a lesser number of sub-blocks;

- regardless of the field partialFR2-FallbackRX-Req, the UE shall meet all DL out-of-gap requirements for all
lower order fallback CA configurations.

Terminal that supports inter-band NR-DC between FR1 and FR2 configuration shall meet the requirements for
corresponding CA configuration (suffix A), unless otherwise specified.

4.5 Applicability and test coverage rules

4.5.0 General
(1) The applicability and test coverage rules for Non-Standalone (NSA) only capable devices shall include the
following:

a) For each NR band in a device; test all the EN-DC or NE-DC exception test requirements as per test
procedures in this specification.

b) Test all the EN-DC or NE-DC FR2 non-exception test requirements in this specification with test procedures
which refer appropriately back to TS 38.521-2 [9] for each NR band. Test only one EN-DC or NE-DC
combination per FR2 band for each EN-DC or NE-DC configuration as defined in clause 5.5B of TS 38.101-
3 [4] using LTE anchor agnostic approach.

c) Test all the EN-DC or NE-DC FR1 non-exception test requirements in this specification with test procedures
which refer appropriately back to TS 38.521-1 [8] for each NR band. Test only one EN-DC or NE-DC
combination per FR1 band for each EN-DC or NE-DC configuration as defined in clause 5.5B of 38.101-
3 [4] using LTE anchor agnostic approach.

(2) The applicability and test coverage rules for Standalone (SA) and NSA capable devices shall include the
following:

a) For each NR band in a device, test all the EN-DC or NE-DC exception test requirements as per test procedures
in this specification.

b) Test all the Standalone FR2 test requirements as per test procedures in TS 38.521-2 [9] for each NR band.
This also fulfils coverage for all non-exception EN-DC or NE-DC FR2 test requirements for that NR band
and need not be retested. If Standalone FR2 cannot be tested (due to test case not being complete), then test
in EN-DC or NE-DC mode following (1)(b) above.

c) Test all the Standalone FR1 test requirements as per test procedures in TS 38.521-1 [8] for each NR band.
This also fulfils coverage for all non-exception EN-DC or NE-DC FR1 test requirements for that NR band
and need not be retested. If Standalone FR1 cannot be tested (due to test case not being complete or if the UE
does not support the band in SA mode), then test in EN-DC or NE-DC mode following (1)(c) above.

4.5.1 Test coverage across 5G NR connectivity options


The test cases in this specification cover both NR/5GC (including FR1+FR2 CA or FR1+FR2 NR-DC) as well as EN-
DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC testing. Below shall be the understanding with respect to coverage across 5G NR
connectivity options:

1) Unless otherwise stated within the test case, it shall be understood that test requirements are agnostic of the EN-
DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC connectivity options configured within the test. The test coverage across the EN-
DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC connectivity options shall be considered fulfilled by executing the test case in one
of these connectivity options. In the case of non-exception requirements, test coverage of NE-DC is fulfilled by
execution of NR/5GC connectivity option test cases.

2) EN-DC is the default connectivity option used for EN-DC, NE-DC and NGEN-DC test cases.

3) If a UE does not support EN-DC, any other supported connectivity option of NE-DC or NGEN-DC can be
configured to execute the test. The leverage rule detailed in (1) would apply.

Table 4.5.1-2: Void

4.6 E-UTRA configuration for EN-DC FR1 tests applying the E-


UTRA anchor-agnostic approach
This clause applies to EN-DC test cases where E-UTRA anchor needs to be configured as per the anchor-agnostic
approach outlined in clauses 6.1 and 7.1 of TS 38.101-3 [4].The LTE anchor-agnostic approach is defined as
measurements on the NR carrier under conditions where the LTE anchor resources do not interfere with NR operation.
The configuration defined in this clause ensures establishment of such conditions.

For baseline configuration, the E-UTRA carrier will be configured for each test case in clauses 6 and 7 as defined in the
equivalent standalone E-UTRA test in TS 36.521-1 [10]. However, the below exceptions defined in Table 4.6-1, 4.6-2,
4.6-3, 4.6-4 and 4.6-5 are applied to ensure that the E-UTRA anchor resources do not interfere with NR operation.

For EN-DC within FR1 band combinations with multiple E-UTRA component carriers, it is sufficient to configure any
one E-UTRA carrier from the carrier group whenever it is determined that anchor agnostic approach can be applied.
Unless otherwise stated, the number of component carriers (CCs) listed in the test case titles of Clause 6 and clause 7
shall refer to the number of component carriers configured within the test case.

4.7 E-UTRA configuration for EN-DC FR2 tests applying the E-


UTRA anchor-agnostic approach
This clause applies to EN-DC test cases where E-UTRA anchor needs to be configured as per the anchor-agnostic
approach outlined in clauses 6.1 and 7.1 of TS 38.101-3 [4].The LTE anchor-agnostic approach is defined as
measurements on the NR carrier under conditions where the LTE anchor resources do not interfere with NR operation.
The configuration defined in this clause ensures establishment of such conditions.

For baseline configuration, the E-UTRA carrier will be configured for each test case in clauses 6 and 7 as defined in the
equivalent standalone E-UTRA test in TS 36.521-1 [10]. However, the below exceptions defined in Table 4.7-1 to 4.7-7
are applied to ensure that the E-UTRA anchor resources do not interfere with NR operation.

Since the E-UTRA link is always a functional link when testing EN-DC including FR2 band combinations, it is
sufficient to configure any one E-UTRA carrier from the carrier group, irrespective of the number of E-UTRA carriers
in the EN-DC combination under test. Unless otherwise stated, the number of component carriers (CCs) listed in the test
case titles of Clause 6 and clause 7 shall refer to the number of component carriers configured within the test case.

5.3 UE Channel bandwidth

5.3A UE Channel bandwidth for CA


5.3A.1 Inter-band CA between FR1 and FR2
For inter-band NR CA between FR1 and FR2, a carrier aggregation configuration is a combination of operating bands,
each supporting a carrier aggregation bandwidth class as specified in clause 5.3A.5 of TS 38.101-1 [2] and
clause 5.3A.4 of TS 38.101-2 [3] independently.

5.3B UE Channel bandwidth for EN-DC


5.3B.0 General
For intra-band contiguous EN-DC, the aggregated channel bandwidth is sum of the individual NR and E-UTRA channel
bandwidths assuming nominal EN-DC channel with 0 kHz offset spacing as specified in clause 5.4.

ENBW = BWNR_Channel + BWE-UTRA_Channel

In the case where the NR sub-block and/or the E-UTRA sub-block itself is composed of intra-band contiguous CA
carriers, the EN-DC aggregated channel bandwidth is the sum of the aggregated channel bandwidths of the NR and E-
UTRA sub-blocks assuming nominal EN-DC channel spacing between the NR sub-block and E-UTRA sub-block.

ENBW = BWNR_Channel_CA + BWE-UTRA_Channel_CA

For NR inter-band dual connectivity specified in 5.5B.7, the corresponding NR CA configurations in 5.5A.1, i.e., dual
uplink inter-band carrier aggregation between FR1 and FR2 with uplink assigned to two NR bands, are applicable to
Dual Connectivity.

NOTE: Requirements for the dual connectivity configurations are defined in the clause corresponding NR uplink
CA between FR1 and FR2 configurations, unless otherwise specified.

Intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations are defined using intra-band contiguous EN-DC bandwidth class notation
DC_(n)Xyz where the first EN-DC bandwidth class letter indicates the number of contiguous E-UTRA carriers and the
second EN-DC bandwidth class letter indicates the number of contiguous NR carriers for the EN-DC combination of E-
UTRA Band X and NR Band nX. Applicable contiguous intraband EN-DC bandwidth classes are listed in Table
5.3B.0-1

5.4B.0 General
The channel arrangement for intra-band EN-DC operations in FR1 is specified in TS 36.101 [5] and TS 38.101-1 [2],
respectively.

5.4B.1 Channel spacing for intra-band EN-DC carriers


The spacing between carriers will depend on the deployment scenario, the size of the frequency block available and the
channel bandwidths. The nominal channel spacing between E-UTRA carrier and an adjacent NR carrier for intra-band
contiguous EN-DC is defined as following:

- For NR operating bands with 100 kHz channel raster,

Nominal Channel spacing = (BWE-UTRA_Channel + BWNR_Channel)/2

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 33 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

- For NR operating bands with 15 kHz channel raster,

Nominal Channel spacing = (BWE-UTRA_Channel + BWNR_Channel)/2+{-5kHz, 0kHz, 5kHz} for ∆FRaster equals to
15 kHz

Nominal Channel spacing = (BWE-UTRA_Channel + BWNR_Channel)/2+{-10kHz, 0kHz, 10kHz} for ∆FRaster equals to
30 kHz

where BWE-UTRA_Channel and BWNR_Channel are the channel bandwidths of the E-UTRA and NR carriers, ∆FRaster is the
band dependent channel raster granularity defined in TS38.101-1[2]. The channel spacing can be adjusted depending on
the channel raster to optimize performance in a particular deployment scenario.

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC the channel spacing between E-UTRA and NR carriers shall be larger than the
nominal channel spacing defined in this clause.

5.5B Configuration for DC


5.5B.1 General
The operating bands and bandwidth classes are specified for operation with EN-DC, NGEN-DC, NE-DC or NR-DC
configured. The EN-DC, NE-DC or NGEN-DC band combinations include at least one E-UTRA operating band.

For EN-DC or NE-DC configurations indicated by column "Single Uplink allowed" (e.g., problematic band
combinations as defined in TS 38.306 [16]) in tables in this clause the UE may indicate capability of not supporting
simultaneous dual and triple uplink operation due to possible intermodulation interference to its own primary downlink
channel bandwidth of PCell or PSCell if the intermodulation order is 2 or if the intermodulation order is 3 for the
combinations when both operating bands are between 450 MHz – 960 MHz or between 1427 MHz – 2690 MHz.

In the case for EN-DC or NE-DC configurations listed in tables in this clause for which the intermodulation products
caused by the dual and triple uplink operation fall into the receive band but do not interfere with its own primary
downlink channel bandwidth of PCell or PSCell as defined in Annex I the UE is mandated to operate in dual and triple
uplink mode. Single Uplink is also allowed for certain band combinations where intermodulation or reverse
intermodulation products could create difficulty for meeting emission requirements.

For EN-DC combinations of order 3 or higher, "Single Uplink allowed" UL configurations captured in Table 5.5B.2-1,
Table 5.5B.3-1, and Table 5.5B.4-1 apply.

Non-contiguous resource allocation and almost contiguous allocation are not applicable for E-UTRA or NR carrier part
of intra-band EN-DC configuration.

If multiple UL DC configurations are listed for multiple DL DC configurations, valid uplink configurations are such
that uplink does not have more carriers than downlink.

Non-contiguous resource allocation and almost contiguous allocation are not applicable for E-UTRA or NR carrier part
of intra-band EN-DC configuration.

5.5B.2 Intra-band contiguous EN-DC


Supported channel bandwidths for E-UTRA operating bands are defined in TS 36.521-1 [10] and for NR operating
bands in TS 38.521-1 [8].

Table 5.5B.2-1: Intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations

NOTE 1: Uplink EN-DC configurations are the configurations supported by the present release of
specifications.
NOTE 2: Requirements in this specification apply for NR SCS of 15 kHz only.
NOTE 3: Single UL allowed due to potential emission issues, not self-interference.
NOTE 4: For UE(s) supporting dynamic power sharing it is mandatory to do dual simultaneous UL. For
UE(s) not supporting dynamic power sharing single UL is allowed.
NOTE 5: The minimum requirements only apply for non-simultaneous Tx/Rx between all carriers.

5.5B.3 Intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC


Supported channel bandwidths for E-UTRA operating bands are defined in TS 36.521-1 [10] and for NR operating
bands in TS 38.521-1 [8].

NOTE 2: Only single switched UL is supported in Rel-15
NOTE 3: The minimum requirements only apply for non-simultaneous Tx/Rx between all carriers.
NOTE 4: Single UL allowed due to potential emission issues, not self-interference.
NOTE 5: Only single switched UL is supported.
NOTE 6: Reserve.
NOTE 7: Single UL allowed due to potential emission issues and self-interference.

5.5B.4 Inter-band EN-DC within FR1


Supported channel bandwidths for E-UTRA operating bands and CA configurations are defined in TS 36.521-1 [10]
and for NR operating bands and CA configurations in TS 38.521-1 [8] and present document.

EN-DC configuration Uplink EN-DC Single UL allowed DL interruption allowed


configuration (Note 14)
(NOTE 1)
NOTE 1: Uplink EN-DC configurations are the configurations supported by the present release of specifications.
NOTE 2: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when inter-band carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating band for
Band 46 is paired with the uplink operating band (external E-UTRA band) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured PCell.
NOTE 3: The minimum requirements apply only when there is non-simultaneous Tx/Rx operation between E-UTRA and NR
carriers. This restriction applies also for these carriers when applicable EN-DC configuration is part of a higher order
EN-DC configuration.
NOTE 4: The minimum requirements for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC apply. For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-
WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, when UE capability interBandContiguousMRDC is indicated, the minimum requirements
for intra-band-contiguous EN-DC also should be met in addition to intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC. The said intra-
band requirements also apply for these carriers when applicable EN-DC configuration is a subset of a higher order
EN-DC configuration.
NOTE 5: The frequency range above 3600 MHz for Band n78 is not used in this combination.
NOTE 6: The frequency range below 2506 MHz for Band 41 is not used in this combination.
NOTE 7: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band EN-DC with mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx capability.
NOTE 8: The frequency range in band n28 is restricted for this band combination to 703 - 733 MHz for the UL and 758-788
MHz for the DL.
NOTE 9: The combination is not used alone as fall back mode of other band combinations in which UL in Band 42 is not used.
NOTE 10: Void.
NOTE 11: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum requirements for inter-band EN-DC
apply when the maximum power spectral density imbalance between downlink carriers is within 6 dB. For these UEs,
the power spectral density imbalance condition also applies for these carriers when applicable EN-DC configuration
is a subset of a higher order EN-DC configuration.
NOTE 12: Applicable for frequency range above 4800 MHz for Band n79 in this combination.
NOTE 13: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum requirements apply for
synchronized DL carriers with a maximum receive time difference ≤ 3 usec. The requirements also apply for these
carriers when applicable EN-DC configuration is a subset of a higher order EN-DC configuration.
NOTE 14: Applicable when dynamic switching between two uplink carriers is conducted. The DL interruption requirements for
NR DL carrier(s) and E-UTRA DL carrier(s) are specified in clause 8.2.1.2.14 of 38.133 [25] and clause 7.32.2.12 of
36.133 [12] respectively.
NOTE 15: Simultaneous Rx/Tx capability does not apply for UEs supporting band 42 with a n77 implementation only. Same
restrictions are applied to related higher order configurations.
NOTE 16: Reserved.
NOTE 17: The frequency range in band n28 is restricted for this band combination to 728 - 738 MHz for the UL and 783 - 793
MHz for the DL. This restriction applies also for these band combinations when applicable EN-DC configuration is
part of a higher order EN-DC configuration.

NOTE 1: Uplink EN-DC configurations are the configurations supported by the present release of
specifications.
NOTE 2: Only single switched UL is supported.
NOTE 3: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when inter-band carrier aggregation is configured. The
downlink operating band for Band 46 is paired with the uplink operating band (external
E-UTRA band) of the carrier aggregation configuration that is supporting the configured
PCell.
NOTE 4: If a UE is configured with both NR UL and NR SUL carriers in a cell, the switching time
between NR UL carrier and NR SUL carrier can be up to 140us and placed in SUL
resources.
NOTE 5: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band EN-DC with mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx
capability
NOTE 6: The frequency range in band n28 is restricted for this band combination to 703-733 MHz
for the UL and 758-788 MHz for the DL.
NOTE 7: Void.
NOTE 8: Reserved.
NOTE 9: Reserved.
NOTE 10: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements for intra-band contiguous or non-contiguous EN-DC apply for the Band 42
and Band n77/n78 combination.
NOTE 11: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements for inter-band EN-DC apply when the maximum power spectral density
imbalance between downlink carriers contained in overlapping or partially overlapping
DL bands is within 6 dB.
NOTE 12: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements apply for synchronized DL carriers with a maximum receive time
difference ≤ 3 usec between overlapping or partially overlapping DL bands contained in
different cell groups.

NOTE 1: Uplink EN-DC configurations are the configurations supported by the present release of
specifications.
NOTE 2: Applicable for UE supporting inter-band EN-DC with mandatory simultaneous Rx/Tx
capability
NOTE 3: The frequency range in band n28 is restricted for this band combination to 703-733 MHz
for the UL and 758-788 MHz for the DL.
NOTE 4: Only single switched UL is supported.
NOTE 5: UL carrier shall be supported in Band 2 or band 66 only. Power imbalance between
downlink carriers on Band 7 and Band 38 is assumed to be within 6dB.
NOTE 6: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements for intra-band contiguous or non-contiguous EN-DC apply for the Band 42
and Band n77/n78 combination.
NOTE 7: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements for inter-band EN-DC apply for the Band 42 and Band n77/n78
combination when the maximum power spectral density imbalance between downlink
carriers contained in overlapping or partially overlapping DL bands is within 6 dB.
NOTE 8: For UEs not indicating interBandMRDC-WithOverlapDL-Bands-r16, the minimum
requirements apply for synchronized DL carriers with a maximum receive time
difference ≤ 3 usec between overlapping or partially overlapping DL bands contained in
different cell groups.

6 Transmitter characteristics

6.1 General
Editor's note: Test configurations/environments that require new spherical scan shall be included in test procedure
clause and identifying such scenarios is currently FFS and owned by RAN5.

Unless otherwise stated the transmitter, characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the UE for the bands
operating on frequency range 1 and over the air of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 2. The
requirements for frequency range 1 and frequency range 2 can be verified separately. For the carrier in frequency range
1, requirements can be verified with NR FR2 link disabled. For the carrier in frequency range 2, requirements can be
verified in OTA mode with E-UTRA connecting to the network by OTA without calibration.

For NR FR2 Tx test cases the identified beam peak direction can be stored and reused for a device under test in various
configurations/environments for the full duration of device testing as long as beam peak direction is the same.

Unless otherwise stated, requirements for NR transmitter written in TS 38.521-1 [8] and TS 38.521-2 [9] apply and are
assumed anchor agnostic. Requirements are verified under conditions where anchor resources do not interfere NR
operation. For Rel-15, unless otherwise stated, if UE indicates IE maxNumberSRS-Ports-PerResource = n2 in NR
standalone operation mode, the said UE shall meet the NR requirements for either power class 2 or power class 3 in
EN-DC within FR1 if UE indicates IE maxNumberSRS-Ports-PerResource = n1 for EN-DC on this NR band. For Rel-
16 and forward, if UE indicates IE powerClassNRPart-r16 as defined in TS 38.331 [18] in EN-DC, UE shall meet NR
requirements according to this power class.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 86 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

Unless otherwise stated, Channel Bandwidth shall be prioritized in the selecting of test points. Subcarrier spacing shall
be selected after Test Channel Bandwidth is selected.

For conformance testing involving FR2 test cases in this specification, the UE under test shall be pre-configured with
UL Tx diversity schemes disabled to account for single polarization System Simulator (SS) in the test environment. The
UE under test may transmit with dual polarization.

Uplink RB allocations for E-UTRA carrier and E-UTRA intra-band contiguous CA (2CC) given in Table 6.1-1 and
Table 6.1-2 respectively are used throughout this clause, unless otherwise stated by the test case.

Editor's note:

- For overlapping transmission there is no test point satisfying 0dB MPR according to RAN4 specification.

- Test requirements for Power Class 2 of Rel-15 is FFS due to ongoing RAN4 discussion on minimum
requirement

6.2B.1.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that the error of the UE maximum output power does not exceed the range prescribed by the specified
nominal maximum output power and tolerance.

An excess maximum output power has the possibility to interfere to other channels or other systems. A small maximum
output power decreases the coverage area.

6.2B.1.1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC
operation on FR1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 89 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

6.2B.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The following UE Power Classes define the total maximum output power for any transmission bandwidth(s) of the
CG(s) configured.

The maximum output power is measured as the total maximum output power across the UE antenna connector(s). The
period of measurement shall be at least one sub frame.

Table 6.2B.1.1.3-1: Maximum output power for EN-DC (continuous sub-blocks)


Power class 2 Tolerance Power class 3 Tolerance
DC configuration
(dBm) (dB) (dBm) (dB)
DC_(n)71AA 23 +2/-3
DC_(n)41AA 26 +2/-31 23 +2/-31
NOTE 1: If all transmitted resource blocks over all component carriers are confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz
or/and FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high, the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower
tolerance limit by 1.5 dB.
NOTE 2: Power Class 3 is the default power class unless otherwise stated.

If UE supports a different power class than the default UE power class for EN-DC band combination, and the supported
power class enables higher maximum output power than that of the default power class:

- if the E-UTRA UL/DL configuration is 0 or 6; or

- if the E-UTRA UL/DL configuration is 1 and special subframe configuration is 0 or 5; or

- if the IE p-maxUE-FR1-r15 as defined in TS 36.331 [17] is provided and set to the maximum output power of
the default power class or lower;

- apply all requirements for the default power class, and set the configured transmitted power as specified in
clause 6.2B.4;

- else

- apply all requirements for the supported power class, and set the configured transmitted power class as
specified in subclause 6.2B.4;

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.1.

LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are
performed.

NOTE 1: For the transmission bandwidths confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high,
the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB.
NOTE 2: PPowerClass, EN-DC is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance.
NOTE 3: For inter-band EN-DC the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all
component carriers (per UE).
NOTE 4: Power Class 3 is the default power class unless otherwise stated.
NOTE 5: The UE is not required to support PC2 within each individual cell group. Power class support within each
individual cell group is signaled separately by the UE.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause A.3.1.1 for SS and
clause A.3.2.1 for UE.

2. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3, and the
parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2B.1.3.3-1.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 105 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

5. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-UTRA CG
and NR CG respectively.

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents
are defined in clause 6.2B.1.3.4.3.

7. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD,
ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 6.2B.1.3.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC. For an E-UTRA FDD and NR TDD EN-DC band combination, if UE supports PC2, the
percentage of EUTRA uplink symbols transmitted in each radio frame shall be less than 40%.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. For test ID 1~6 measure the sum of mean transmitted power over all EN-DC component carriers in the EN-DC,
which shall meet the requirements described in table 6.2B.1.3.5-1 and the period of the measurement shall be at
least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame. For FDD band in inter-band CA with both TDD band and
FDD band, only slots overlapping with only UL symbols in TDD are under test.

For test ID 7~15 measure the mean transmitted power over E-UTRA carrier or NR carrier, which shall meet the
requirements described in table 6.2.2.5-1 in TS 36.521-1 [10] or table 6.B2.1.5-1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] respectively.
The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame.

4. For UEs supporting Power Class 2, repeat steps 1~3 on the applicable bands with message exception defined in
Table 6.2B.1.3.4.3-5.

6.2B.1.3_1.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2B.1.3.1

6.2B.1.3_1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 16 and forward, supporting inter-band EN-DC with 2 E-UTRA
CCs and 1 NR CC operating on FR1.

6.2B.1.3_1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band EN-DC of E-UTRA and NR in FR1, the following UE Power Classes define the maximum output power
for any transmission bandwidth within the aggregated channel bandwidth. The maximum output power is measured as
the sum of the maximum output power at each UE antenna connector. The period of measurement shall be at least one
sub frame (1ms). UE maximum output power shall be measured over all component carriers from different bands. If
each band has separate antenna connectors, maximum output power is measured as the sum of maximum output power
at each UE antenna connector.

NOTE 1: For the transmission bandwidths confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high – 4 MHz and FUL_high,
the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB.
NOTE 2: PPowerClass, EN-DC is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance.
NOTE 3: For inter-band EN-DC the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all
component carriers (per UE).
NOTE 4: Power Class 3 is the default power class unless otherwise stated.
NOTE 5: The UE is not required to support PC2 within each individual cell group. Power class support within each
individual cell group is signalled separately by the UE.
NOTE 6: The UE supports PC3 within E-UTRA cell group, and supports either PC3 or PC2 within NR cell group. Power
class support within each individual cell group is signalled separately by the UE.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.1.

LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are
performed.

6.2B.1.3_1.4 Test description

6.2B.1.3_1.4.1 Initial condition

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE
to reach the correct measurement state.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, DC configuration specified in
clause 5.5B.4 and test channel bandwidths specified in TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.3.1 and TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.3.1,
and sub-carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in TS 38.521-1 [8] clause 5.3. All of these
configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each EN-DC configuration, and are shown in table
6.2B.1.3_1.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in TS 36.521-1 [10]
Annexe A, clause A.2.3 for E-UTRA RMC for TDD, TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A, clause A.2.2 for E-UTRA RMC for
FDD, and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex A, clause A.2 for NR RMC. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before
measurement are specified in TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C, clause C.2 and in TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C, clause C.2 for E-
UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

Table 6.2B.1.3_1.4.1-1: Test configuration table

FFS

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] clause A.3.1.1 for SS and
clause A.3.2.1 for UE.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 118 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

2. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3, and the
parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG PCC and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2B.1.3_1.3-1.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-UTRA CG
and NR CG respectively.

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents
are defined in clause 6.2B.1.3_1.4.3.

7. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD,
ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.1.3_1.4.2 Test procedure

1. Configure E-UTRA SCC according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0, C.1 and Annex C.3.0 for all E-UTRA
downlink physical channels.

2. The SS shall configure SCC as per TS 36.508 [11] clause 5.2A.4. Message contents are defined in clause
6.2B.1.3_1.4.3.

3. SS activates SCC by sending the activation MAC-CE (Refer TS 36.321, clauses 5.13, 6.1.3.8). Wait for at least 2
seconds (Refer TS 36.133 [12], clauses 8.3.3.2).

4. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2B.1.3_1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA PCC and SCC and
NR CC respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC
padding bits on the UL RMC.

5. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in every uplink scheduling information to the UE until
the UE transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX
level.

6. For test ID 1~6 measure the sum of mean transmitted power over all EN-DC component carriers in the EN-DC,
which shall meet the requirements described in table 6.2B.1.3_1.5-1 and the period of the measurement shall be
at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame.

For test ID 7~9 measure the sum of mean transmitted power over all E-UTRA component carriers, which shall
meet the requirements described in Table 6.2.2A.1.5-1 in TS 36.521-1 [10]. The period of the measurement shall
be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame.

For test ID 10~15 measure the mean transmitted power over NR carrier, which shall meet the requirements
described in Table 6.2.1.5-1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] respectively. The period of the measurement shall be at least the
continuous duration of one active sub-frame.

NOTE 1: TT applies to output power in each UL carrier with E-UTRA UL transmission not overlapping with NR UL
transmission in time, and its value is the same as TT of standalone E-UTRA or NR transmission. For detailed
values refer to Table 6.2B.1.3_1.5-2.
NOTE 2: TT applies to overall output power with E-UTRA UL transmission overlapping with NR UL transmission in time,
and its value is the maximum TT among all E-UTRA and NR UL carriers. For detailed values refer to Table
6.2B.1.3_1.5-2.
NOTE 3: For the transmission bandwidths confined within FUL_low and FUL_low + 4 MHz or FUL_high - 4 MHz and FUL_high,
the maximum output power requirement is relaxed by reducing the lower tolerance limit by 1.5 dB.
NOTE 4: PPowerClass, EN-DC is the maximum UE power specified without taking into account the tolerance.
NOTE 5: For inter-band EN-DC the maximum power requirement should apply to the total transmitted power over all

6.2B.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2B.2.1.3.1 General

When the UE is configured for intra-band contiguous EN-DC, the UE determines the total allowed maximum output
power reduction as specified in this clause.

For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:

- for the MCG, MPRc in accordance with TS 36.101 [5]

- for the SCG,

MPR'c = MPRNR = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC)

- for the total configured transmission power,

MPRtot = PPowerClass,EN-DC – min(PPowerClass,EN-DC ,10*log10(10^((PPowerClass,E-UTRA - MPRE-UTRA)/10) + 10^((PPowerClass,NR -


MPRNR)/10))

where

MPRE-UTRA = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )

with

- MPRsingle, E-UTRAis the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

- MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following

- for the MCG,

MPRc = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )

- for the SCG,

MPR'c = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC )

where

- MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

MPRENDC is defined in Clause 6.2B.2.1.3.2.

6.2B.2.1.3.2 MPR for power class 3 and power class 2

MPR in this subclause is applicable for power class 3 and power class 2 UEs indicating IE dualPA-Architecture
supported with ENDC power class being the same as the E-UTRA and NR power class, otherwise the UE can use as
much MPR as needed to fulfil emissions requirements when scheduled with dual uplink transmission. For UEs
scheduled with single uplink transmission, MPR in subclause 6.2.4 of TS 36.101 [5] and 6.2.2 of TS 38.101-1 [2] apply.
For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing for DC_(n)71AA for which dual simultaneous uplink transmissions are
mandatory and A-MPR defined in subclause 6.2B.3.1.1 is applied as MPR. The allowed maximum output power
reduction for IM3 related emissions applied to transmission on the MCG and the SCG is defined as follows:

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 132 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

MPRENDC = MA

Where MA is defined as follows

MA = 15; 0 ≤ B < 0.5

10; 0.5 ≤ B < 1.0

8; 1.0 ≤ B < 2.0

6; 2.0 < B

Where:

For UEs supporting dynamic power sharing,

B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing,

For E-UTRA

B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000

Where SCSNR = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.

For NR

B = (12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000,000

Where SCSE-UTRA = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.

and MA is reduced by 1 dB for B < 2.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.2.1.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't
overlap in time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is
included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't overlap
in time with NR, for a UE that supports dynamic power sharing. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this
case based on the test point analysis in TS 38.905 [7].

6.2B.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. For test points configured with message in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-7, NR SS only schedules UL RMC
on NR slots that does not overlap with E-UTRA uplink subframe. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback
data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command starting in this step for the UE to
reach PUMAX level.

3. For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the mean power over all component carriers. For a UE not
supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the power of each component carrier individually. For the tested
EN-DC configuration, the requirements described in clause 6.2B.2.1.5 shall be met. The period of the
measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with
transient periods are not under test.

4. For UEs supporting Power Class 2, repeat steps 1~3 for Test ID 25 and 45 in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1 on the
applicable bands with message exception defined in Table 6.2B.2.1.4.3-7.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2B.2.1.4.1-1,
send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118
PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition.

6.2B.2.2 UE Maximum Output Power reduction for Intra-Band Non-Contiguous EN-DC

6.2B.2.2.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2B.2.1.1.

6.2B.2.2.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-
DC.

NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if clause 6.5B.2.2.3 ACLR is executed since MPR requirement is verified
in this test case.

6.2B.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

6.2B.2.2.3.1 General

When the UE is configured for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, the UE determines the total allowed maximum
output power reduction as specified in this subclause.

For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:

- for the MCG, MPRc in accordance with TS 36.101 [4]

- for the SCG,

MPR'c = MPRNR = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC)

- for the total configured transmission power,

MPRtot = PPowerClass,EN-DC – min(PPowerClass,EN-DC ,10*log10(10^((PPowerClass,E-UTRA - MPRE-UTRA)/10) + 10^((PPowerClass,NR -


MPRNR)/10))

where

MPRE-UTRA = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )

with

- MPRsingle, E-UTRAis the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [4]

- MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following

- for the MCG,

MPRc = MAX(MPRsingle,E-UTRA, MPRENDC )

- for the SCG,

MPR'c = MAX( MPRsingle,NR, MPRENDC )

where

- MPRsingle,NR is the MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [4]

MPRENDC is defined in Clause 6.2B.2.2.3.2.

6.2B.2.2.3.2 MPR for power class 3 and power class 2

MPR in this subclause is applicable for power class 3 and power class 2 UEs indicating IE dualPA-Architecture
supported with ENDC power class being the same as the E-UTRA and NR power class, otherwise the UE can use as
much MPR as needed to fulfil emissions requirements when scheduled with dual uplink transmission. For UEs
scheduled with single uplink transmission, MPR in subclause 6.2.4 of TS 36.101 [5] and 6.2.3 of TS 38.101-1 [2] apply.
The allowed maximum output power reduction for IM3 related emissions applied to transmission on the MCG and the
SCG is defined as follows:

MPRENDC = MA

Where MA is defined as follows

MA = 18 ; 0 ≤ B < 1.0

17 ; 1.0 ≤ B < 2.0

16 ; 2.0 ≤ B < 5.0

15 ; 5.0 ≤ B

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 145 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

Where:

For UEs supporting dynamic power sharing,

B = (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing,

For E-UTRA

B= (LCRB_alloc, E-UTRA * 12* SCSE-UTRA + 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000

Where SCSNR = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.

For NR

B = (12 * SCSE-UTRA + LCRB_alloc,NR * 12 * SCSNR)/1,000.000

Where SCSE-UTRA = 15 kHz is assumed in calculation of B.

and MA is reduced by 1 dB for B < 2.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.2.2.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA overlap in
time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-
UTRA measurements are performed.

No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't overlap
in time with NR. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case based on the test point analysis in TS 38.905
[7].

6.2B.3.1.3.2 A-MPR for NS_04

6.2B.3.1.3.2.0 General

When the UE is configured for B41/n41 intra-band contiguous EN-DC and it receives IE NS_04, the UE determines the
total allowed maximum output power reduction as specified in this clause. The A-MPR for EN-DC defined in this
clause is used instead of MPR defined in 6.2B.2.2, not additively, so EN-DC MPR = 0 when NS_04 is signaled. For
UEs scheduled with single uplink transmission, AMPR in subclause 6.2.4 of [5] and 6.2.3 of [2] apply.

For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:

- for the MCG, A-MPRc in accordance with 36.101 [5]

- for the SCG,

A-MPR'c = A-MPRNR = MAX( A-MPRsingle,NR, A-MPRIM3)

- for the total configured transmission power,

A-MPRtot = PPowerClass,EN-DC – min(PPowerClass,EN-DC ,10*log10(10^((PPowerClass,E-UTRA - A-MPRE-UTRA)/10) +


10^((PPowerClass,NR - A-MPRNR)/10))

where

A-MPRE-UTRA = MAX( A-MPRsingle,E-UTRA + MPRsingle,E-UTRA, A-MPRIM3 )

with

- A-MPRsingle, E-UTRA is the A-MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

- A-MPRsingle,NR is the A-MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 159 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

- for the MCG,

A-MPRc = MAX( A-MPRsingle, E-UTRA + MPRsingle,E-UTRA, A-MPRIM3 )

- for the SCG,

A-MPR'c = MAX( A-MPRsingle,NR, A-MPRIM3 )

where

- A-MPRsingle, E-UTRA is the A-MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

- A-MPRsingle,NR is the A-MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

The UE determines the Channel Configuration Case and the value of A-MPRIM3 as follows:

If FIM3,low_block,low < 2490.5 MHz

6.2B.3.1.4.1 Initial conditions

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE
to reach the correct measurement state.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies and channel bandwidths based on
NR operating bands specified in clause 5.3B.1.2, channel bandwidths and sub-carrier spacings for the NR cell specified
in TS 38.521-1 [8] clause 5.3 and channel bandwidth for the E-UTRA cell are specified in TS 36.521-1 [10]
clause 5.4.2. All these configurations shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each EN-DC configuration
specified in clause 5.3B.1.2 and are shown in table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-1 through 6.2B.3.1. 4.1-2. The details of the uplink
reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before
measurement are specified in TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.2 and in TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.2 for E-UTRA CG and NR
CG respectively.

Editor's note: The following lines belong at the end of clause 6.2B.3.1.4.1. As new tables are added to this clause,
these lines should always follow the tables.

The initial test configurations for E-UTRA consist of test frequency based on E-UTRA operating band and test channel
bandwidth as specified in Table 4.6-1.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1 for TE
diagram and clause A.3.2.1 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for E-UTRA the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3, and the
parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. NR downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.2 and uplink signals according to
Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.0 of TS 38.521-1 [8].

5. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A.2 and TS 38.521-1 [8]
Annex A.2 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG link respectively.

6. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex B.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-
UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

7. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents
are defined in clause 6.2B.3.1.4.3.

8. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD,
ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.3.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-1 or 6.2B.3.1.4.1-2 on both EN-DC
component carriers. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC
padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to
reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean power over all component carriers for the EN-DC configuration, which shall meet the
requirements described in table 6.2B.3.1.5.1-1 through to 6.2B.3.1.5.2-6. The period of the measurement shall be
at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms). For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL
symbols are under test.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-1 or
6.2B.3.1.4.1-2, send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3
Table 4.6.3-118 PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition.

6.2B.3.2 UE Additional Maximum Output Power reduction for Intra-Band Non-


Contiguous EN-DC
Editor's note: This test case is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

- Test frequencies for the Minimum WGAP

- Test requirements for non-overlapping transmission of non-DPS UE need further investigation

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 181 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

6.2B.3.2.1 Test purpose

Additional emission requirements can be signalled by the network with network signalling value indicated by the field
additionalSpectrumEmission. To meet these additional requirements, additional maximum power reduction (A-MPR) is
allowed for the maximum output power as specified in Table 6.2B.1.1.3-1. Unless stated otherwise, an A-MPR of 0 dB
shall be used.

6.2B.3.2.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply in test case 6.5B.2.2.2 Additional spectrum emission mask for network signalled
values NS_04 to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC.

6.2B.3.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC band combinations with additional requirements the A-MPR allowed are
specified in table 6.2B.3.2.3-1 for UEs configured with EN-DC and combinations of network signalling values
indicated in the E-UTRA and NR cell group(s). Unless otherwise stated the A-MPR specified in subclause6.2B.3.2 for

scheduled with single uplink transmission, AMPR in subclause 6.2.4 of [4] and 6.2.3 of [2] apply.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.3.2.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA overlap in
time with NR.LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this case and referred to as sub-test 1. E-UTRA test point
analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't
overlap in time with NR, for a UE that doesn't support dynamic power sharing. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not
applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't overlap
in time with NR, for a UE that supports dynamic power sharing. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied for this
case.

6.2B.3.2.3.1 A-MPR for NS_04

When the UE is configured for B41/n41 intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC and it receives IE NS_04, the UE
determines the total allowed maximum output power reduction as specified in this clause. The A-MPR for EN-DC
defined in this clause is used instead of MPR defined in 6.2B.2.2, not additively, so EN-DC MPR=0 when NS_04 is
signalled.

For UE supporting dynamic power sharing the following:

- for the MCG, A-MPRc in accordance with TS 36.101 [5]

- for the SCG,

A-MPR'c = A-MPRNR = MAX( A-MPRsingle,NR, A-MPREN-DC)

- for the total configured transmission power,

where

A-MPRE-UTRA = MAX( A-MPRsingle,E-UTRA + MPRsingle,E-UTRA, A-MPREN-DC )

A-MPREN-DC = MAX(A-MPRIM3, A-MPRACLRoverlap )

- A-MPRsingle,NR is the A-MPR defined for the NR transmission in TS 38.101-1 [2]

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 38.101-3 [4]

For UEs not supporting dynamic power sharing the following

- for the MCG,

A-MPRc = MAX( A-MPRsingle, E-UTRA + MPRsingle,E-UTRA, A-MPRIM3, A-MPRACLRoverlap)

- for the SCG,

A-MPR'c = MAX( A-MPRsingle,NR, A-MPRIM3, A-MPRACLRoverlap)

- MPRsingle,E-UTRA is the MPR defined for the E-UTRA transmission in TS 36.101 [5]

The UE determines the Channel Configuration Case and the value of A-MPRIM3 as follows:

If AND( FIM3,low_block,high < Ffilter,low , MAX( SEM-13,high, FIM3,high_block,low ) > Ffilter,high )

Channel Configuration Case C. A-MPRIM3 defined in Clause 6.2B.3.1.3.2.1

- FIM3,high_block,low = (2 * Fhigh_channel,low_edge) – Flow_channel,high_edge

- Flow_channel,low_edge is the lowermost frequency of lower transmission bandwidth configuration.

- Flow_channel,high_edge is the uppermost frequency of lower transmission bandwidth configuration.

- Fhigh_channel,low_edge is the lowermost frequency of upper transmission bandwidth configuration.

- Fhigh_channel,high_edge is the uppermost frequency of upper transmission bandwidth configuration.

6.2B.3.2.4.1 Initial conditions

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE
to reach the correct measurement state.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-
carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in table 5.5B.3-1. All of these configurations shall be tested with
applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing, and are shown in
test configuration table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-1 through 6.2B.3.1.4.1-2 with additional IM3 test frequencies for NS_04 in
6.2B.3.2.4.1-1. The details of the uplink reference measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A2.
Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before measurement are specified in Annex TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C and in
Annex C2 for LTE link and NR link respectively.

Editor's note: The following lines belong at the end of clause 6.2B.3.2.4.1. As new tables are added to this clause,
these lines should always follow the tables.

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 38.508-1 [6] Annex A, Figure A.3.1.1.1 for TE
diagram and clause A.3.2.1 for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. NR downlink signals are initially set up according to Annex C.0, C.1, and C.2 and uplink signals according to
Annex G.0, G.1, G.2, and G.3.0 of TS 38.521-1 [8].

5. The UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A.2 and Annex A for
LTE link and NR link respectively.

6. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex B.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-
UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

7. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents
are defined in clause 6.2B.3.2.4.3.

8. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD,
ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.3.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 6.2B.3.2.4.1-1 on both EN-DC component carriers.
Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL
RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the UE to
reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean power over all component carriers for the EN-DC configuration, which shall meet the
requirements described in table 6.2B.3.2.5-1. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous
duration of one sub-frame (1ms).

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2B.3.1.4.1-2,
send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118
PUSCH-Config with TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED condition.

6.2B.3.3 UE Additional Maximum Output Power reduction for Inter-Band EN-DC within
FR1 (1 NR CC)

6.2B.3.3.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.3.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 198 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

6.2B.3.3.2 Test applicability

The requirements of this test apply to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting inter-band EN-DC
within FR1 with 1 NR UL CC.

NOTE: Test execution is not necessary if clause 6.5B.2.3.2, 6.5B.2.3.3.2 and 6.5B.4.3 are executed since A-MPR
requirements are verified in these test cases.

6.2B.3.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For inter-band EN-DC between E-UTRA and FR1 NR, UE additional maximum output power reduction specified in
TS 36.101 [5] and TS 38.101-1 [2] apply for E-UTRA and NR respectively.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.3.3.

No exception requirements applicable to NR or LTE. LTE anchor agnostic approach is applied

6.2B.3.3.4 Test description

Same test description as in clause 6.2.3.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier with the following exceptions:

The initial test configurations for E-UTRA band consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, and channel
bandwidths based on E-UTRA bands specified in Table 4.6-1.

For Initial conditions as in clause 6.2.3.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8], the following steps will be added to configure E-UTRA
component:

2.1. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3 with E-
UTRA channel bandwidth and test frequencies defined in Table 6.2B.3.3.4-1.

3.1. Downlink E-UTRA signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C0, C.1 and C.3.0, and
uplink signals according to Annex H.1 and H.3.0.

4.1. The E-UTRA UL Reference Measurement channels are set according to Table 6.2B.3.3.4-1.

6.2B.4.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according table 6.2B.4.1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. For test points configured with message in Table 6.2B.4.1.1.4.3-1, NR SS only schedules UL RMC
on NR slots that does not overlap with E-UTRA uplink subframe. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback
data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean transmitted power over E-UTRA component carrier and NR component carrier respectively,
or/and measure the sum of mean transmitted power over E-UTRA and NR component carriers according to

1. Connect the SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in [6] TS 38.508-1 A.3.1.2.1 for SS diagram and A.3.2.1
for UE diagram.

2. The parameter settings for the E-UTRA cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3, and the
parameter settings for the NR cell are set up according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.4.3.

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A.2 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex A.2 for
E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex B.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex B.0 for E-
UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents
are defined in clause 6.2B.4.1.2.4.3.

7. For the case of testing overlapping E-UTRA and NR UL transmission scenario when both bands are TDD,
ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.4.1.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according table 6.2B.4.1.2.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean transmitted power over E-UTRA component carrier and NR component carrier respectively,
or/and measure the sum of mean transmitted power over E-UTRA and NR component carriers according to
Table 6.2B.4.1.2.5-1 and Table 6.2B.4.1.2.5-2. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous
duration of one active sub-frame. For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration Table 6.2B.4.1.2.4.1-1,
send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118

3. Downlink signals are initially set up according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex C.0 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C.0
for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively, and uplink signals according to TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex H and
TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex G for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

4. The UL Reference Measurement channels are TS 36.521-1 [10] Annex A.2 and TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex A.2 for
E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively.

5. Propagation conditions are set according to Table 6.2B.4.1.3.4.1-1.

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.5. Message contents

UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.2B.4.1.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according table 6.2B.4.1.3.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean transmitted power over E-UTRA component carrier and NR component carrier respectively,
or/and measure the sum of mean transmitted power over E-UTRA and NR component carriers according to
Table 6.2B.4.1.3.5-1 and Table 6.2B.4.1.3.5-2. The period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous
duration of one active sub-frame. For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL symbols are under test. For FDD
band in inter-band CA with both TDD band and FDD band, only slots overlapping with only UL symbols in
TDD are under test.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration Table 6.2B.4.1.3.4.1-1,

For the UE which supports inter-band EN-DC configuration, ΔTIB,c in 6.2B.4.2 applies where unless otherwise stated,
the same ΔTIB,c is applicable to NR band(s) part for DC configurations which have the same NR operating band
combination. Unless otherwise stated, ΔTIB,c is set to zero.

6.2B.4.1.4 Configured Output Power for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2 (1 NR CC)

6.2B.4.1.4.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4.1 in TS 38.521-2 [9] for the NR carrier.

6.2B.4.1.4.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting inter-band EN-DC including FR2
with 1 NR UL CC.

The requirements of this test for NR carrier are covered in test cases 6.2B.1.1 Maximum output power for Inter-Band
EN-DC including FR2, 6.2B.2.1 Maximum output power reduction for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2 and 6.2B.3.1
UE maximum output power with additional requirements for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2 to all types of NR UE
release 15 and forward.

6.2B.4.1.4.3 Minimum conformance requirements

UE configured output power requirement for E-UTRA single carrier and CA operation specified in subclauses 6.2.5 and
6.2.5A of [10] and for NR single carrier and CA operation specified in subclause 6.2.4, 6.2A.4 and 6.2D.4 of [9] apply.

No exception requirements applicable to NR or LTE. LTE anchor agnostic approach is applied.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.2B.4.1.4.

6.2B.4.1.4.4 Test description

This test is covered by clause 6.2B.1.1 Maximum output power for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2, 6.2B.2.1
Maximum output power reduction for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2 and 6.2B.3.1 UE maximum output power with
additional requirements for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2.

6.2B.4.1.4.5 Test requirement

This test is covered by clause 6.2B.1.1 Maximum output power for Inter-Band EN-DC including FR2, 6.2B.2.1

6.2B.4.1.5 Configured Output Power for Inter-Band EN-DC including both FR1 and FR2

6.2B.4.1.5.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.2.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR FR1 carrier and 6.2.4.1 in TS 38.521-2 [9] for NR FR2
carrier.

6.2B.4.1.5.2 Test applicability

The requirements in this test are not testable due to issues with combined testing of NR FR1 and E-UTRA in conducted
mode with NR FR2 in radiated mode. Therefore, the conducted and radiated requirements are tested separately.

No test case details are specified. The EN-DC requirements for maximum output power apply and are tested as part of
the EN-DC within FR1 and EN-DC including FR2 test cases in clause 6.2B.

6.2B.4.2 ΔTIB,c for EN-DC


For the UE which supports inter-band EN-DC configuration, ΔTIB,c in Tables below applies where unless otherwise
stated, the same ΔTIB,c is applicable to NR band(s) part for DC configurations which have the same NR operating band
combination. Unless otherwise stated, ΔTIB,c is set to zero.

Unless ΔTIB,c is specified for the NE-DC configuration, the specified ΔTIB,c for the EN-DC configuration including
same bands as the corresponding NE-DC configuration is applicable for the NE-DC configuration.

6.2B.4.2.1 Intra-Band Contiguous EN-DC


ΔTIB,c is not applicable for intra-band contiguous EN-DC.

6.2B.4.2.2 Intra-Band non-Contiguous EN-DC


ΔTIB,c is not applicable for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC.

6.2E.2.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI
to schedule the E-UTRA UL RMC according to Table 6.2E.2.2.1.4.1-1. The UE starts to perform the NR
sidelink communication according to SL-PreconfigurationNR. Since the UE has no payload and no loopback
data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the E-UTRA UL and NR sidelink RMCs.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to the UE to
ensure that the UE transmits at PUMAX level. Configure the UE to transmit PSCCH and PSSCH with the
PUMAX level of each test points.

3. Measure the mean power over all component carriers in the inter-band con-current V2X configuration. The
period of measurement shall be at least continuous duration of one sub-frame (1ms).

6.2E.2.2.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. The SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for
C_RNTI to schedule the NR UL RMC according to Table 6.2E.2.2.2.4.1-1 on NR CC. The UE starts to perform
the E-UTRA V2X sidelink communication according to SL-V2X-Preconfiguration. Since the UL has no payload
and no loopback data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the NR UL and E-UTRA V2X
sidelink RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE until the UE transmits at its PUMAX level;
allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command starting in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the mean power over all component carriers in the inter-band con-current V2X configuration. The
period of the measurement shall be at least the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots
with transient periods are not under test.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration table 6.2E.2.2.2.4.1-1,

To verify that the E-UTRA and NR switching time mask for switching between two uplink carriers for inter-band EN-
DC meets the requirements given in 6.3B.4.1 in TS 38.101-3 [4].

The E-UTRA and NR switching time mask for switching between two uplink carriers for inter-band EN-DC defines the
transient period(s) and the switching period allowed between two uplink carriers for an uplink band pair of an inter-
band EN-DC configuration when the capability uplinkTxSwitchingPeriod is present.

6.3B.3_1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

In addition to the requirements in 6.3B.0 and the maximum output power requirement specified in Table 6.2B.1.3-1
with inter-band EN-DC (two bands), the switching time mask specified in this sub-clause is applicable for an uplink
band pair of an inter-band EN-DC configuration without SUL band when the capability uplinkTxSwitchingPeriod is
present, and is only applicable for uplink switching mechanisms specified in sub-clause 6.1.6 of TS 38.214 [14], where
E-UTRA UL carrier 1 is capable of one transmit antenna connector and NR UL carrier 2 is capable of two transmit
antenna connectors, and the two uplink carriers are in different bands with different carrier frequencies. The UE shall
support the switch between single layer transmission with one antenna port and two-layer transmission with two
antenna ports on the two uplink carriers following the scheduling commands and rank adaptation, i.e., both single layer
and two-layer transmission with 2 antenna ports, and single layer transmission with 1 antenna port shall be supported on
NR UL carrier 2.

The switching periods described in Figure 6.3B.4.1-1 are only located in NR carrier, and the length of uplink switching
period X is less than the value indicated by UE capability uplinkTxSwitchingPeriod.

6.4B.2 Transmit Modulation Quality for DC

6.4B.2.1 Transmit Modulation Quality for intra-band contiguous EN-DC

6.4B.2.1.1 Error Vector Magnitude for intra-band contiguous EN-DC

6.4B.2.1.1.1 Test purpose

The Error Vector Magnitude is a measure of the difference between the reference waveform and the measured
waveform. This difference is called the error vector. Before calculating the EVM the measured waveform is corrected
by the sample timing offset and RF frequency offset. Then the carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured
waveform before calculating the EVM.

The measured waveform is further equalised using the channel estimates subjected to the EVM equaliser spectrum
flatness requirement specified in clause 6.4B.2.1.4.3. For DFT-s-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the
front-end FFT and IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power
expressed as a %. For CP-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT as the square root of
the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %.

The basic EVM measurement interval in the time domain is one preamble sequence for the PRACH and the duration of
PUCCH/PUSCH channel, or one hop, if frequency hopping is enabled for PUCCH and PUSCH in the time domain. The
EVM measurement interval is reduced by any symbols that contains an allowable power transient as defined in
clause 6.3.3.3 of TS 38.521-1 [8].

Carrier leakage expresses itself as unmodulated sine wave with the carrier frequency or centre frequency of aggregated
transmission bandwidth configuration. It is an interference of approximately constant amplitude and independent of the
amplitude of the wanted signal. Carrier leakage interferes with the centre sub carriers of the UE under test (if allocated),
especially, when their amplitude is small. The measurement interval is defined over one slot in the time domain.

The purpose of this test is to exercise the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in terms of carrier leakage.

6.4B.2.1.3 In-band Emissions for intra-band contiguous EN-DC

6.4B.2.1.3.1 Test purpose

The in-band emissions are a measure of the interference falling into the non-allocated resources blocks.

The in-band emission is defined as the average emission across 12 sub-carriers and as a function of the RB offset from
the edge of the allocated UL transmission bandwidth. The in-band emission is measured as the ratio of the UE output
power in a non–allocated RB to the UE output power in an allocated RB.

The basic in-band emissions measurement interval is defined over one slot in the time domain, however, the minimum
requirement applies when the in-band emission measurement is averaged over 10 sub-frames. When the PUSCH or
PUCCH transmission slot is shortened due to multiplexing with SRS, the in-band emissions measurement interval is
reduced by one or more symbols, accordingly.

The purpose of this test is to exercise the UE transmitter to verify its modulation quality in terms of in-band emissions.

6.4B.2.1.3.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC.

within the aggregated transmission bandwidth configuration of the EN-DC bandwidth with the carriers of both CGs
active and one single contiguous PRB allocation of bandwidth LCRB within the MCG at the edge of the said aggregated
transmission bandwidth configuration.

active and one single contiguous PRB allocation of bandwidth LCRB within the SCG at the edge of the aggregated
transmission bandwidth configuration.

configurations supported by the UE are less than their specific limits.

6.5B.1.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC.

6.5B.1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

ensure E-UTRA UL transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-
UTRA subframes, or by giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.5B.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 6.5B.1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. Measure the power spectrum distribution over all EN-DC component carriers in the EN-DC within two times or
more range over the requirement for Occupied Bandwidth specification for intra-band contiguous EN-DC
centring on the current carrier frequency in the EN-DC configuration. The characteristics of the filter shall be
approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyser filter). Other methods to measure the power spectrum
distribution are allowed. The measuring duration is at least 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots.

4. Calculate the total power within the range of all frequencies measured in step 3 and save this value as "Total
power".

5. Sum up the power upward from the lower boundary of the measured frequency range in step 3 and seek the limit
frequency point by which this sum becomes 0.5% of "Total power" and save this point as "Lower Frequency".

6. Sum up the power downward from the upper boundary of the measured frequency range in step 3 and seek the
limit frequency point by which this sum becomes 0.5% of "Total power" and save this point as "Upper
Frequency".

7. Calculate the difference "Upper Frequency" – "Lower Frequency" = "Occupied Bandwidth" between the two
limit frequencies obtained in step 5 and step 6.

6.5B.2.1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.2.1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

3. For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the mean power over all component carriers. For a UE not
supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the power of each component carrier individually. The measure
transmitted power shall meet the requirements in clause 6.2B.2.1.5. The period of measurement shall be at least
the continuous duration of 1ms over consecutive active uplink slots For TDD, only slots consisting of only UL
symbols are under test.

4. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table
6.5B.2.1.1.5-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in continuous steps according to the same
table. The measured power shall be recorded for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active TSs.

NOTE 1: When switching to DFT-s-OFDM waveform, as specified in the test configuration Table 6.5B.2.1.1.4.1-1,
send an NR RRCReconfiguration message according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6.3 Table 4.6.3-118

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't
overlap in time with NR, for a UE that doesn't support dynamic power sharing. LTE anchor agnostic approach is not
applied for this case. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

No exception requirements for NR or E-UTRA are defined for this test when transmission on E-UTRA doesn't overlap

case.

6.5B.2.1.2.3.2 Minimum requirement for network signalled value "NS_04"

Additional spectrum emission requirements are signalled by the network to indicate that the UE shall meet an additional
requirement for a specific deployment scenario as part of the cell handover/broadcast message.

The Band 41/n41 SEM transition point from -13 dBm/MHz to -25 dBm/MHz is based on the emission bandwidth. The
emission bandwidth is defined as the width of the signal between two points, one below the carrier centre frequency and
one above the carrier centre frequency, outside of which all emissions are attenuated at least 26 dB below the
transmitter power. Since the 26 dB emission bandwidth is implementation dependent, the transmission bandwidths
occupied by RBs is used for the SEM. The emission bandwidth for LTE carriers is document in TS 36.101 [5], and the
emission bandwidth for NR carriers is documented in TS 38.101-1 [2]. The total emission bandwidth for contiguous
intra-band EN-DC is the sum of the emission bandwidth for each CC plus the guard band between contiguous CCs.

When "NS_04" is indicated in the cell, the power of any UE emission shall not exceed the levels specified in Table
6.5B.2.1.2.3.2-1.

6.5B.2.2.1 Spectrum emissions mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC

6.5B.2.2.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that the power of any UE emissions shall not exceed specified level for the specified channel bandwidth.

6.5B.2.2.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-
DC.

6.5B.2.2.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The spectral emission mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC is a composite of the emission mask for each CC
with the level set to the maximum value from each mask for each frequency outside of the transmission bandwidth of
either carrier. A composite spectrum emission mask is a combination of individual CC spectrum emissions masks.
Where two masks overlap the most relaxed limit is used. Composite spectrum emission mask applies to frequencies up
to ± ΔfOOB starting from the edges of the sub-blocks. If for some frequency an individual CC spectrum emission mask
overlaps with the bandwidth of another CC then the emission mask does not apply for that frequency.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.2.2.1.

The spectral emission mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC is a composite of the emission mask for each CC
with the level set to the maximum value from each mask and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied.

6.5B.2.2.1.4.2 Test Procedure

1. For NR carrier, SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.2.2.1.4.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no
loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. For E-UTRA carrier, SS sends uplink scheduling information via PDCCH DCI format 0 for C_RNTI to schedule
the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.2.2.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits
uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for NR and E-UTRA carrier until the UE
transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms from the first TPC command starting in this step for the UE to
reach PUMAX level.

4. For a UE supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the mean power over all component carriers. For a UE not
supporting dynamic power sharing, measure the power of each component carrier individually. The measure
transmitted power shall meet the requirements in clause 6.2B.2.2.5. The period of the measurement shall be at least
the continuous duration of one active sub-frame (1ms). For TDD slots with transient periods are not under test.

for some frequency an individual CC spectrum emission mask overlaps with the bandwidth of another CC then the
emission mask does not apply for that frequency.

6.5B.2.2.2 Additional Spectrum emissions mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC


Editor's note: This clause is incomplete. The following aspects are either missing or not yet determined:

- For Wgap < NR ΔfOOB + E-UTRA ΔfOOB, test description and test requirements are FFS.

6.5B.2.2.2.1 Test purpose

Same test purpose as in clause 6.5.2.3 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier.

6.5B.2.2.2.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-
DC.

6.5B.2.2.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The spectral emission mask for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC is a composite of the emission mask for each CC
with the level set to the maximum value from each mask for each frequency outside of the transmission bandwidth of
either carrier. A composite spectrum emission mask is a combination of individual CC spectrum emissions masks.
Where two masks overlap the most relaxed limit is used. Composite spectrum emission mask applies to frequencies up
to ± ΔfOOB starting from the edges of the sub-blocks. If for some frequency an individual CC spectrum emission mask
overlaps with the bandwidth of another CC then the emission mask does not apply for that frequency.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.2.2.2.

No exception requirements applicable to NR or LTE when Wgap > NR ΔfOOB + E-UTRA ΔfOOB. LTE anchor agnostic

6.5B.2.2.3 Adjacent channel leakage ratio for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC

6.5B.2.2.3.1 Test purpose

To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to adjacent channels in terms of
Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR).6.5B.2.2.3.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band non-contiguous EN-
DC.

6.5B.2.2.3.3 Minimum conformance requirements

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, the EN-DC Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (EN-DCACLR) is the ratio of
the sum of the filtered mean powers centred on the assigned E-UTRA and NR sub-block frequencies to the filtered
mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency at nominal channel spacing. In case the sub-block gap bandwidth
Wgap is smaller than an E-UTRA or NR sub-block bandwidth, no EN-DCACLR requirement is set for the corresponding
sub-block for the gap. The assigned EN-DC sub-block power and adjacent channel power are measured with
rectangular filters with measurement bandwidths specified in TS 36.101 [5] for the E-UTRA sub-block, and TS 38.101-
1 [2] for the NR sub-block. If the measured adjacent channel power is greater than –50dBm then the EN-DCACLR shall
be higher than the value specified in for E-UTRAACLR and NRACLR.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.2.2.3.

Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio must be measured for both NR and E-UTRA and therefore LTE anchor
agnostic approach is not applied.

6.5B.3 Spurious emissions for EN-DC


Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission,
parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The spurious emission limits are specified in terms of general requirements in line with SM.329 [3] and NR operating
band requirement to address UE co-existence.

To improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the
measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should
be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement
bandwidth.

TS 36.101 [5] and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the
measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the
harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval
centred at the harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x LCRB x 180kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or

NOTE: To simplify the above Table, E-UTRA band numbers are listed for bands which are specified only for E-
UTRA operation or both E-UTRA and NR operation. NR band numbers are listed for bands which are
specified only for NR operation.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.3.1.2.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach
is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included, and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

6.5B.3.1.2.4.2 Test Procedure

1. E-UTRA SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.3.1.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to
send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 386 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.3.1.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to
send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Both NR and E-UTRA SS send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling
information to the UE until the UE transmits at PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms starting from the first TPC
command in this step for the UE to reach PUMAX level.

4. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table
6.5B.3.1.2.3-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps according to Table
6.5B.3.1.2.3-1. The measured power shall be verified for each step. The measurement period shall capture the
active time slots.

In addition to test configuration and test procedure above, EN-DC only capable UEs and UEs not supporting NR/5GC
mode in the tested band need to be tested according to test description as in clause 6.5.3.2.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the
NR carrier with the following exceptions:

measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the
harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval
centred at the harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x LCRB x 180kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or
partially overlaps the overall exception interval.
NOTE 3: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 - 1915.7 MHz.

NOTE: To simplify the above Table, E-UTRA band numbers are listed for bands which are specified only for
EUTRA operation or both E-UTRA and NR operation. NR band numbers are listed for bands which are
specified only for NR operation.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.3.2.2.

6.5B.3.2.2.4.2 Test Procedure

1. E-UTRA SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.3.2.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to
send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.3.2.2.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to
send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for both NR and E-UTRA carriers until the
UE transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the
UE to reach PUMAX level.

4. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table
6.5B.3.2.2.3-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps according to the same
table. The measured power shall be verified for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active time
slots.

In addition to test configuration and test procedure above, EN-DC only capable UEs and UEs not supporting NR/5GC
mode in the tested band need to be tested according to test description as in clause 6.5.3.2.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the
NR carrier with the following exceptions:

Test requirements for Spurious Emissions UE Co-existence for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC are the same as the
minimum requirements described in clause 6.5B.3.2.2.3 and are not repeated in this clause.

For EN-DC only capable devices, in addition to Table 6.5B.3.2.2.3-1, test requirements for NR carrier are the same as
Table 6.5.3.2.5-1 in TS 38.521-1 [8].

6.5B.3.3.1 General spurious emissions for Inter-band EN-DC within FR1

6.5B.3.3.1.1 Test purpose

To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to other channels or other systems in terms of
transmitter spurious emissions.

6.5B.3.3.1.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward supporting inter-band EN-DC.

6.5B.3.3.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The general spurious emissions requirements specified in subclause 6.6.3.1 of TS 36.101 [5], subclause 6.5.3.1 of TS
38.101-1 [2] and TS 38.101-2 [3] apply for each component carrier. For the case of inter-band EN-DC with a single
carrier per cell group, the general spurious emissions requirements also apply with both downlink carrier and both
uplink carriers active. Limits on configured maximum output power for the uplink according to subclause 6.2B.4 apply.

NOTE: The general spurious emission requirements with both uplink carriers active are allowed to be verified for
only a single inter-band EN-DC configuration per NR band. Furthermore, the requirements are allowed
to be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the specific frequencies where second and third order
intermodulation products generated by the two transmitted carriers can occur.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.3.3.1. Exception requirements applicable
for both NR and LTE, therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied.

NOTE 1: Applies for Band n41, CA configurations including Band n41, and EN-
DC configurations that include n41 specified in clause 5.2B of
TS 36.101 [5] when NS_04 is signalled.
NOTE 2: Does not apply for Band n41, CA configurations including Band n41,
and EN-DC configurations that include n41 specified in subclause 5.2B
of TS 38.101-3 [4] when NS_04 is signalled.

6.5B.3.3.2 Spurious emission band UE co-existence for Inter-band within FR1


Editor's note: The default and additional test configuration is analysed based on the assumption that only
intermodulation products need to be tested.

6.5B.3.3.2.1 Test purpose

To verify that UE transmitter does not cause unacceptable interference to other channels or other systems in terms of
transmitter spurious emissions for band UE co-existence for inter-band EN-DC.

6.5B.3.3.2.2 Test applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward supporting inter-band EN-DC.

6.5B.3.3.2.3 Minimum conformance requirements

This clause specifies the requirements for the specified EN-DC, for coexistence with protected bands. The requirements
in Table 6.5B.3.3.2.3-1 and Table 6.5B.3.3.2.3-2 apply on each component carrier with all component carriers are
active.

NOTE: For inter-band EN_DC with the uplink assigned to one LTE band and one NR band, the requirements in
Table 6.5B.3.3.2.3-1 and Table 6.5B.3.3.2.3-2 could be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the
specific frequencies where second and third order intermodulation products generated by the two
transmitted carriers can occur.

NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1 of TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 5.2-1 in
TS 38.101-1 [2].
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 in TS
36.101 [5] and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the
measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic
emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the
harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x LCRB x 180kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic
respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the
overall exception interval.
NOTE 3: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 -1915.7MHz.
NOTE 4: Void.
NOTE 5: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-1,
Table 6.6.3.1A-1 in TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 6.5.3.1-1 in TS 38.101-1 [2] from the edge of the channel
bandwidth.
NOTE 6: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 7: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the
protected operating band.
NOTE 8: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink
NOTE 9: Applicable when the assigned E-UTRA carrier is confined within 718 MHz and 748 MHz and when the
channel bandwidth used is 5 or 10 MHz.
NOTE 10: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 11: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 12: This requirement is applicable only for the following cases:
A: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 902.5 MHz
≤ Fc < 907.5 MHz with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 20 RB;
B: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 907.5 MHz
≤ Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz without any restriction on uplink transmission bandwidth.
C: for carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is Fc = 910 MHz with an
uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 32 RB with RBstart > 3.
NOTE 13: Void.
NOTE 14: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz E-UTRA channel bandwidth allocated within 718-728MHz.
For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or
equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and Rbstart < 48.
NOTE 15: Void.
NOTE 16: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 17: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz E-UTRA carrier confined within 703 MHz and 733
MHz, otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies.
NOTE 18: This requirement is only applicable for E-UTRA carriers with bandwidth confined within 1885 - 1920 MHz
(requirement for carriers with at least 1RB confined within 1880 - 1885 MHz is not specified). This requirement
applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for E-UTRA carriers of 15 MHz
bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1892.5 - 1894.5 MHz and for E-UTRA carriers of
20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1895 - 1903 MHz.
NOTE 19: Void.

NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1 in TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 5.2-1 in
TS 38.101-1 [2].
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 in TS
36.101 [5] and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the
measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic
emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the
harmonic emission of (2 MHz + N x LCRB x 180 kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic
respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the
overall exception interval.
NOTE 3: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 - 1915.7 MHz
NOTE 4: Void.
NOTE 5: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-1,
Table 6.6.3.1A-1 in TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 6.5.3.1-1 in TS 38.101-1 [2] from the edge of the channel
bandwidth.
NOTE 6: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 7: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the
protected operating band.
NOTE 8: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink
NOTE 9: Applicable when the assigned E-UTRA or NR carrier is confined within 718 MHz and 748 MHz and when the
channel bandwidth used is 5 or 10 MHz.
NOTE 10: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 11: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 12: This requirement is applicable only for the following cases: A: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when
carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 902.5 MHz ≤ Fc < 907.5 MHz with an uplink transmission
bandwidth less than or equal to 20 RB; B: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre
frequency (Fc) is within the range 907.5 MHz ≤ Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz without any restriction on uplink transmission
bandwidth; C: for carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is Fc = 910 MHz
with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 32 RB with RBstart > 3.
NOTE 13: Void.
NOTE 14: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718-
728MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth
less than or equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48.
NOTE 15: Void.
NOTE 16: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 17: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR carrier confined within 703 MHz and
733 MHz, otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies.
NOTE 18: This requirement is only applicable for E-UTRA carriers with bandwidth confined within 1885 - 1920 MHz
(requirement for carriers with at least 1RB confined within 1880 - 1885 MHz is not specified). This requirement
applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for E-UTRA carriers of 15 MHz
bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1892.5 - 1894.5 MHz and for E-UTRA carriers of
20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1895 - 1903 MHz.
NOTE 19: Void.
NOTE 20: Void.
NOTE 21: Void.
NOTE 22: This requirement is applicable for power class 3 UE for any channel bandwidths within the range 2570 - 2615
MHz with the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the
range 2605.5 - 2607.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the
range 2597 - 2605 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or
equal to 54 RB.

Configuration
Protected band Frequency range (MHz) Maximu MBW NOTE
m Level (MHz)
(dBm)
NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1 in TS 36.101 [4] or in Table 5.2-1 in TS 38.101-1
[2].
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 in TS 36.101 [4]
and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th
or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1
MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in
an overall exception interval centred at the harmonic emission of (2 MHz + N x LCRB x 180 kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for
the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or
partially overlaps the overall exception interval.
NOTE 3: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 - 1915.7 MHz
NOTE 4: Void
NOTE 5: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-1, Table 6.6.3.1A-
1 in TS 36.101 [4] or in Table 6.5.3.1-1 in TS 38.101-1 [2] from the edge of the channel bandwidth.
NOTE 6: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the following restriction:
for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers
of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable
only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB.
NOTE 7: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the protected
operating band.
NOTE 8: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the following restriction:
for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers
of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable
only for an uplink
NOTE 9: Applicable when the assigned E-UTRA or NR carrier is confined within 718 MHz and 748 MHz and when the channel
bandwidth used is 5 or 10 MHz.
NOTE 10: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for each
assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if
there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1) for which the 2nd harmonic totally
or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 11: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for each
assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An exception is allowed if
there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1) for which the 3rd harmonic totally
or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 12: This requirement is applicable only for the following cases: A: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre
frequency (Fc) is within the range 902.5 MHz ≤ Fc < 907.5 MHz with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal
to 20 RB; B: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 907.5 MHz ≤
Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz without any restriction on uplink transmission bandwidth; C: for carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth
when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is Fc = 910 MHz with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 32 RB
with RBstart > 3.
NOTE 13: Void
NOTE 14: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718-728MHz. For
carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 30 RB
with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48.
NOTE 15: Void
NOTE 16: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the following restriction:
for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers
of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable
only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB.
NOTE 17: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR carrier confined within 703 MHz and 733 MHz,
otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies.
NOTE 18: This requirement is only applicable for E-UTRA carriers with bandwidth confined within 1885 - 1920 MHz (requirement for
carriers with at least 1RB confined within 1880 - 1885 MHz is not specified). This requirement applies for an uplink
transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for E-UTRA carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier center
frequency is within the range 1892.5 - 1894.5 MHz and for E-UTRA carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier center
frequency is within the range 1895 - 1903 MHz.
NOTE 19: Void
NOTE 20: Void.
NOTE 21: Void
NOTE 22: This requirement is applicable for power class 3 UE for any channel bandwidths within the range 2570 - 2615 MHz with
the following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2605.5 -
2607.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 2597 - 2605 MHz the
requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB.

NOTE: To simplify the above Table, E-UTRA band numbers are listed for bands which are specified only for E-
UTRA operation or both E-UTRA and NR operation. NR band numbers are listed for bands which are
specified only for NR operation.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 6.5B.3.3.2.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach
is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

transmission overlaps with NR UL transmission in time by giving SCG a delay of 3 E-UTRA subframes, or by
giving MCG a delay of 2 subframes.

6.5B.3.3.2.4.2 Test Procedure

Same test procedure as described in clause 6.5B.3.1.2.4.2 with the following exceptions:

Instead of Table 6.5B.3.1.2.3-1 --> use Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-1 and 6.5B.3.3.2.5-2.

In addition to test configurations above, EN-DC only capable UEs and UEs not supporting NR/5GC mode in the tested
band needs to be tested according to LTE anchor agnostic approach below.

Same test description as in clause 6.5.3.2.4 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR carrier with the following exceptions:

The initial test configurations for E-UTRA consist of test frequency based on E-UTRA operating band and test channel
bandwidth as specified in Table 4.6-1.

For Initial conditions as in clause 6.5.3.2.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8], the following steps will be added to configure E-
UTRA component:

2.1. The parameter settings for the cell are set up according to TS 36.508 [11] clause 4.4.3.

3.1. The E-UTRA downlink signal level, uplink signal level are set according to Table 4.6-1 and propagation
conditions are set according to Annex B.0 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

Step 6 of Initial conditions as in clause 6.5.3.2.4.1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] is replaced by:

6. Ensure the UE is in state RRC_CONNECTED with generic procedure parameters Connectivity EN-DC, DC
bearer MCG and SCG, Connected without release On according to TS 38.508 [6] clause 4.5.

7. On the E-UTRA carrier, disable periodic and aperiodic CQI reports, disable SRS, set
TimeAlignmentTimerDedicated IE to infinity and disable downlink and uplink scheduling, all as per Table 4.6-1
under clause 4.6.

6.5B.3.3.2.5 Test Requirement

The test requirements are in Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-1 and Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-2 for Release 15 and Release 16, respectively.
For EN-DC only capable devices, in addition to Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-1 and Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-2, the test requirements as
in clause 6.5.3.2.5 in TS 38.521-1 [8] are also needed.

For inter-band EN_DC with the uplink assigned to one LTE band and one NR band, the test requirements in Table
6.5B.3.3.2.5-1 and Table 6.5B.3.3.2.5-2 can be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the specific frequencies
where second and third order intermodulation products generated by the two transmitted carriers can occur.

NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1 of TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 5.2-1 in
TS 38.101-1 [2].
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 in TS
36.101 [5] and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the
measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic
emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the
harmonic emission of (2MHz + N x LCRB x 180kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic
respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the
overall exception interval.
NOTE 3: Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 -1915.7MHz
NOTE 4: Void.
NOTE 5: These requirements also apply for the frequency ranges that are less than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1-1,
Table 6.6.3.1A-1in TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 6.5.3.1-1 in TS 38.101-1 [2] from the edge of the channel
bandwidth.
NOTE 6: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 2500 - 2570 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2560.5 - 2562.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
2552 - 2560 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 7: For these adjacent bands, the emission limit could imply risk of harmful interference to UE(s) operating in the
protected operating band.
NOTE 8: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 – 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink.
NOTE 9: Applicable when the assigned E-UTRA or NR carrier is confined within 718 MHz and 748 MHz and when the
channel bandwidth used is 5 or 10 MHz.
NOTE 10: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -38 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 2nd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 2nd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 11: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirement of -36 dBm/MHz is permitted for
each assigned E-UTRA carrier used in the measurement due to 3rd harmonic spurious emissions. An
exception is allowed if there is at least one individual RB within the transmission bandwidth (see Figure 5.6-1)
for which the 3rd harmonic totally or partially overlaps the measurement bandwidth (MBW).
NOTE 12: This requirement is applicable only for the following cases:
A: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 902.5 MHz
≤ Fc < 907.5 MHz with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 20 RB:
B: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is within the range 907.5 MHz
≤ Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz without any restriction on uplink transmission bandwidth;
C: for carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is Fc = 910 MHz with an
uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 32 RB with RBstart > 3.
NOTE 13: Void.
NOTE 14: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718-
728MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth
less than or equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48.
NOTE 15: Void.
NOTE 16: This requirement is applicable for any channel bandwidths within the range 1920 - 1980 MHz with the
following restriction: for carriers of 15 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1927.5 - 1929.5 MHz and for carriers of 20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range
1930 - 1938 MHz the requirement is applicable only for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to
54 RB.
NOTE 17: This requirement is applicable in the case of a 10 MHz E-UTRA carrier confined within 703 MHz and 733
MHz, otherwise the requirement of -25 dBm with a measurement bandwidth of 8 MHz applies.
NOTE 18: This requirement is only applicable for E-UTRA carriers with bandwidth confined within 1885 - 1920 MHz
(requirement for carriers with at least 1RB confined within 1880 - 1885 MHz is not specified). This requirement
applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 54 RB for E-UTRA carriers of 15 MHz
bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1892.5 - 1894.5 MHz and for E-UTRA carriers of
20 MHz bandwidth when carrier centre frequency is within the range 1895 - 1903 MHz.
NOTE 19: Void.

NOTE 1: FDL_low and FDL_high refer to each frequency band specified in Table 5.5-1 in TS 36.101 [5] or in Table 5.2-1 in
TS 38.101-1 [2].
NOTE 2: As exceptions, measurements with a level up to the applicable requirements defined in Table 6.6.3.1-2 in
TS 36.101 [5] and Table 6.5.3.1-2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] are permitted for each assigned carrier used in the
measurement due to 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic spurious emissions. Due to spreading of the harmonic
emission the exception is also allowed for the first 1 MHz frequency range immediately outside the harmonic
emission on both sides of the harmonic emission. This results in an overall exception interval centred at the
harmonic emission of (2 MHz + N x LCRB x 180 kHz), where N is 2, 3, 4, 5 for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th harmonic
respectively. The exception is allowed if the measurement bandwidth (MBW) totally or partially overlaps the
overall exception interval.

bandwidth less than or equal to 20 RB; B: for carriers of 5 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre
frequency (Fc) is within the range 907.5 MHz ≤ Fc ≤ 912.5 MHz without any restriction on uplink transmission
bandwidth; C: for carriers of 10 MHz channel bandwidth when carrier centre frequency (Fc) is Fc = 910 MHz
with an uplink transmission bandwidth less than or equal to 32 RB with RBstart > 3.
NOTE 13: Void.
NOTE 14: This requirement is applicable for 5 and 10 MHz E-UTRA or NR channel bandwidth allocated within 718-
728MHz. For carriers of 10 MHz bandwidth, this requirement applies for an uplink transmission bandwidth
less than or equal to 30 RB with RBstart > 1 and RBstart < 48.

6.5B.4.1.4.2 Test Procedure

1. E-UTRA SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.4.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send,
the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format [0_1] for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 6.5B.4.1.4.1-1. Since the UE has no payload data to send,
the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands to the UE for both NR and E-UTRA carriers until the
UE transmits at its PUMAX level; allow at least 200 ms starting from the first TPC command in this step for the
UE to reach PUMAX level.

4. Measure the mean power of each component carriers for the EN-DC configuration, which shall meet the
requirements described in 6.2B.3.1.5.2 depending on NS-values. The period of the measurement shall be at least
the continuous duration of one sub-frame.

5. Measure the power of the transmitted signal with a measurement filter of bandwidths according to Table
6.5B.4.1.3.1-1. The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps according to the same
table. The measured power shall be recorded for each step. The measurement period shall capture the active time
slots.

7 Receiver characteristics

7.1 General
Editor's note: Test configurations/environments that require new spherical scan shall be included in test procedure
clause and identifying such scenarios is currently FFS and owned by RAN5.

Unless otherwise stated the receiver characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the UE for the bands
operating on frequency range 1 and over the air of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 2. The
requirements for frequency range 1 and frequency range 2 can be verified separately. For the carrier in frequency range
1, requirements can be verified with NR FR2 link disabled. For the carrier in frequency range 2, requirements can be
verified in OTA mode with E-UTRA connecting to the network by OTA without calibration.

For NR FR2 Rx test cases the identified beam peak direction can be stored and reused for a device under test in various
configurations/environments for the full duration of device testing as long as beam peak direction is the same.

The requirements defined in this clause are the extra requirements compared with the single carrier requirements
defined in TS 38.521-1 [8] and TS 38.521-2 [9].

Unless otherwise stated, the UL and DL reference measurement channels are the same with the configurations specified
in TS 38.521-1 [8] and TS 38.521-2 [9].

Unless otherwise stated, requirements for NR receiver written in TS 38.521-1 [8] and TS 38.521-2 [9] apply and are
assumed anchor agnostic. Requirements are verified under conditions where anchor resources do not interfere NR
operation.

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC, the output power is configured as follows:

- One E-UTRA uplink carrier with the output power set to 29dB below PCMAX_L,c and the NR band whose
downlink is being tested has its uplink carrier output power set to 4dB below PCMAX_L,f,c.

- One NR uplink carrier with the output power set to 29dB below PCMAX_L,f,c and the E-UTRA band whose
downlink is being tested has its uplink carrier output power set to4 dB below PCMAX_L,c.

For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC of two sub-blocks, an in-gap test refers to the
case when the interfering signal is located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned lowest channel frequency of

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 511 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

the highest sub-block and located at a positive offset with respect to the assigned highest channel frequency of the
lowest sub-block.

For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC of two sub-blocks, an out-of-gap test refers to the
case when the interfering signal(s) is (are) located at a positive offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of
the highest carrier frequency or located at a negative offset with respect to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest
carrier frequency.

For the additional requirements for intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC of two sub-blocks with channel bandwidth larger
than or equal to 5 MHz, the existing adjacent channel selectivity requirements, in-band blocking requirements (for each
case), and narrow band blocking requirements apply for in-gap tests only if the corresponding interferer frequency
offsets with respect to the two measured carriers satisfy the following condition in relation to the sub-block gap size
Wgap for at least one of the E-UTRA or NR sub-blocks, so that the interferer frequency position does not change the
nature of the core requirement tested:

Wgap ≥ 2∙|FInterferer (offset)| – BWChannel

For the E-UTRA sub-block, the FInterferer (offset), for a sub-block with a single component carrier is the interferer frequency
offset with respect to carrier as specified in clause 7.5.1, clause 7.6.1 and clause 7.6.3 for the respective requirement in
TS 36.521 [10] and BWChannel. FInterferer (offset) for the E-UTRA sub-block with two or more contiguous component carriers
is the interference frequency offset with respect to the carrier adjacent to the gap is specified in clause 7.5.1A, 7.6.1A
and 7.6.3A in TS 36.521 [10].

For the NR sub-block, the FInterferer (offset), for a sub-block with a single component carrier is the interferer frequency offset
with respect to carrier as specified in clause 7.5, clause 7.6.2 and clause 7.6.4 for the respective requirement in
TS 38.521-1 [8] and BWChannel..

The interferer frequency offsets for adjacent channel selectivity, each in-band blocking case and narrow- band blocking
shall be tested separately with a single in-gap interferer at a time.

Unless otherwise stated, Channel Bandwidth shall be prioritized in the selecting of test points. Subcarrier spacing shall
be selected after Test Channel Bandwidth is selected.

For conformance testing involving FR2 test cases in this specification, the UE under test shall be pre-configured with
UL Tx diversity schemes disabled to account for single polarization System Simulator (SS) in the test environment. The
UE under test may transmit with dual polarization.

7.3A.2.2 Test applicability

The requirements in this test are not testable due to issues with combined testing of NR FR1 conducted mode with NR
FR2 in radiated mode. Therefore, the conducted and radiated requirements are tested separately.

No test case details are specified. The NR/5GC requirements for receiver sensitivity power level apply and are tested in
TS 38.521-1 [8] clauses 7.3 and 7.3A and TS 38.521-2 [9] clauses 7.3 and 7.3A.

7.3A.3 ΔRIB,c for CA without EN-DC


For the UE which supports inter-band NR CA configuration, the minimum requirement for reference sensitivity in
clause 7.3.2 in TS 38.101-1 [2] and clause 7.3.2, 7.3A.2in TS 38.101-2 [3] shall be increased by the amount given in
ΔRIB,c in Tables below. Unless otherwise stated, ΔRIB,c is set to zero.
In case the UE supports more than one of band combinations for CA, SUL or DC, and an operating band belongs to
more than one band combinations then

- When the operating band frequency range is ≤ 1GHz, the applicable additional ∆RIB,c shall be the average value
for all band combinations defined in clause 7.3A, 7.3B, 7.3C in this specification and 7.3A, 7.3B in TS 38.101-3
[4], truncated to one decimal place that apply for that operating band among the supported band combinations. In
case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum ΔRIB,c among the
different supported band combinations involving such band shall be applied

- When the operating band frequency range is > 1 GHz, the applicable additional ΔRIB,c shall be the maximum
value for all band combinations defined in clause 7.3A, 7.3B, 7.3C in this specification and 7.3A, 7.3B in
TS 38.101-3 [4] for the applicable operating bands.

7.3A.3.1 ΔRIB,c for Inter-band CA between FR1 and FR2 without EN-DC
Unless otherwise stated, ΔRIB,c for NR FR1 band and FR2 band of inter-band CA defined in table 5.5A.1-1 is set to
zero.

7.3A.4 Void

7.3B Reference sensitivity level for DC


7.3B.1 General
For EN-DC, E-UTRA and NR single carrier, CA, and MIMO operation of REFSENS requirements defined in
TS 38.101-1 [2], TS 38.101-2 [3] and TS 36.101 [5] apply to all downlink bands of EN-DC configurations listed in
clause 5.5B, unless sensitivity degradation exception is allowed in this clause of this specification, clause 7.3 in
TS 38.101-1 [2] , clause 7.3 in TS 38.101-2 [3] or cause 7.3 in TS 36.101 [5]. Allowed exceptions specified in this
clause also apply to any higher order EN-DC configuration combination containing one of the band combinations that
exception is allowed for. Reference sensitivity exceptions are specified by applying maximum sensitivity degradation
(MSD) into applicable REFSENS requirement. EN-DC REFSENS requirements shall be met for NR uplink
transmissions using QPSK DFT-s-OFDM waveforms as defined in clause 7.3.2 in TS 38.101-1 [2]. Unless otherwise
specified UL allocation uses the lowest SCS allowable for a given channel BW. Limits on configured maximum output
power for the uplink according to subclause 6.2B.4 shall apply.

In case of interband EN-DC the receiver REFSENS requirements in this clause do not apply for 1.4 and 3 MHz E-
UTRA carriers. For the case of inter-band EN-DC with a single carrier per cell group and multi-carrier per cell group, in
addition to the E-UTRA and NR single carrier, CA, and MIMO operation of REFSENS requirements defined in TS
38.101-1 [2], TS 38.101-2 [3], and TS 36.101 [5], the REFSENS requirements specified therein also apply with both
downlink carriers and both uplink carriers active unless sensitivity exceptions are allowed in this clause of this
specification, clause 7.3 in TS 38.101-1 [2] or clause 7.3 in TS 36.101 [5].

NOTE: For inter-band EN-DC, the reference sensitivity requirement with both uplink carriers active is allowed to
be verified for only a single inter-band EN-DC configuration per NR band.

7.3B.2.0 Minimum Conformance Requirements of Reference sensitivity for EN-DC

7.3B.2.0.1 Intra-band contiguous EN-DC


For intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations, the reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum mean
power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports at which the throughput for the carrier(s) of the E-UTRA and NR
CGs shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified E-UTRA and NR reference measurement channels. The
reference sensitivity requirements apply with all uplink carriers and all downlink carriers active for EN-DC
configuration and Uplink EN-DC configuration listed in Table 5.5B.2-1 and Table 5.5B.3-1, as supported by the UE.
For EN-DC configurations where uplink is not available in either the MCG or the SCG or for EN-DC configurations
where the UE only supports single uplink operation, reference sensitivity requirements apply with single uplink
transmission. The downlink carrier(s) from the cell group with uplink shall be configured closer to the uplink operating
band than any of the downlink carriers from the cell group without uplink.

Sensitivity degradation is allowed for Intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations listed in Table 7.3B.2.0.1-1, the
reference sensitivity is defined only for the specific uplink and downlink test points which are specified in Table
7.3B.2.0.1-1 and E-UTRA and NR single carrier requirements do not apply.

TS 36.101 [5], with additional limits on configured maximum output power for the uplink according to
subclause 6.2B.4.

7.3B.2.0.2 Intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC


For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC configurations, the reference sensitivity power level REFSENS is the minimum
mean power applied to each one of the UE antenna ports at which the throughput for the carrier(s) of the E-UTRA and
NR CGs shall meet or exceed the requirements for the specified E-UTRA and NR reference measurement channels.

For DC_3A_n3A intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC combination, only single switched UL is supported in rel.15,
therefore, no MSD is specified and E-UTRA and NR single carrier requirements apply.

7.3B.2.0.3.5 MSD for intermodulation interference due to dual uplink operation for EN-DC in NR
FR1

7.3B.2.0.3.5.0 General

For EN-DC configurations in NR FR1 the UE may indicate capability of not supporting simultaneous dual uplink
operation due to possible intermodulation interference overlapping in frequency to its own primary downlink channel
bandwidth if

- the intermodulation order is 2;

- the intermodulation order is 3 when both operating bands are between 450 MHz – 960 MHz or between 1427
MHz – 2690 MHz

In the case for EN-DC configurations in NR FR1 for which the intermodulation products caused by dual uplink
operation do not interfere with its own primary downlink channel bandwidth as defined in Annex M the UE is
mandated to operate in dual and triple uplink mode.

For EN-DC configurations in NR FR1 with uplink and downlink assigned to E-UTRA and NR FR1 bands given in
Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1a, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-0 and Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-1 the reference
sensitivity is defined only for the specific uplink and downlink test points specified in Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1, Table
7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1a, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-0 and Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-1. For these test points the reference sensitivity
levels specified in clause 7.3.1 in TS 36.101 [5] and 7.3.2 of TS 38.101-1 [2] for the corresponding channel bandwidths
or in clause 7.3.1 of TS 36.101 [5] are relaxed by the amount of the parameter MSD given in Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1,
Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1a, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-0 and Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-1.

The throughput on each of the CGs shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the respective reference
measurement channels as specified in Annex A of TS 38.101-1 [2] and Annex A of TS 36.101 [5], with parameters
specified in Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1a, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-0 and Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-1 with
dual UL transmissions overlapping in time unless otherwise stated.

Reference sensitivity exceptions are specified for the condition when there is uplink transmission only in the aggressor
band. This subclause addresses directly only NE-DC configurations that don't have a corresponding specified EN-DC
configuration or specific NE-DC exceptions.

7.3B.2.0.3a.1 Reference sensitivity exceptions due to UL harmonic interference for NE-DC in NR


FR1

Sensitivity degradation is allowed for a band if it is impacted by UL harmonic interference from another band part of
the same NE-DC configuration. For the NE-DC configurations that have an EN-DC defined configuration, the reference
sensitivity exceptions for the victim band (high) are specified in Table 7.3B.2.3.1-1 with uplink configuration of the
aggressor band (low) specified in Table 7.3B.2.3.1-2 are applicable.

7.3B.2.0.5 Inter-band EN-DC including both FR1 and FR2

7.3B.2.0.5.1 Reference sensitivity exceptions due to UL harmonic interference for EN-DC including
both FR1 and FR2

For inter-band EN-DC of E-UTRA and NR in both FR1 and FR2, the UE is allowed to apply each sensitivity
degradation for EN-DC in FR1 specified in clause 7.3B.2.3 TS 38.101-3 and for EN-DC including FR2 specified in
clause 7.3B.2.3 of TS 38.101-3 independently.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 7.3B.2.

7.3B.2.1 Reference sensitivity for Intra-band Contiguous EN-DC (2 CCs)


Editor's note: MSD test point selection is based on core spec requirement and shall be added to TP analysis to
TS 38.905 [7].

7.3B.2.1.1 Test purpose

To verify the ability of UE that support intra-band contiguous EN-DC configurations to receive data with a given
average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, under conditions of low signal level, ideal
propagation and no added noise. A UE unable to meet the throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease
the effective coverage area.

7.3B.2.1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC in FR1 with 2
DL CCs.

7.3B.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.1.4.1-1 and Table 7.3B.2.1.4.1-2 on the E-UTRA CC and NR CC. The SS sends
downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.3.4.1-1 on both EN-DC component
carriers. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on
the UL RMC.

3. For test points in Table 7.3B.2.1.4.1-1, set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined
in Table 7.3B.2.1.5-1. For test points in Table 7.3B.2.1.4.1-2, set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate
REFSENS value defined in TS 38.521-1 [8], Table 7.3.3-1 for NR band and TS 36.521-1 [10] Table 7.3.3-1 for
E-UTRA band. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to
both carriers to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput of both NR and E-UTRA for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical
significance according to Annex H.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for
EUTRA band.

7.3B.2.2.4.2 Test Procedure

For test points in Table 7.3B.2.2.4.1-1,

FFS

For test points in Table 7.3B.2.2.4.1-2,

1. NR SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table
7.3B.2.2.4.1-2 on the NR CC. The NR SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.2.4.1-2. Since the UL has no payload and no
loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in TS 38.521-1 [8], Table 7.3.2.5-1 for
NR band. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to NR
carrier to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput of the NR carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance
according to Annex H.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band.

7.3B.2.2.4.3 Message Contents

Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6. Table 4.6.3-118 with condition
TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED for NR band.

Message contents exceptions are according to TS 36.521-1 [10] clause 7.3.4.3 for each network signalling value.

7.3B.2.2.5 Test Requirement

For intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC configuration DC_3A_n3A, the measured throughput on the NR carrier shall be
≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A with reference
receive power level specified in Table 7.3B.2.2.5-1.

Reference sensitivity test requirements for EN-DC configurations other than DC_3A_n3A, are specified in Table
7.3.2.5-1 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for the NR CC.

1. NR SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table
7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-0 on the NR CC. The NR SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-0 Since the UL has no payload and no
loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in TS 38.521-1 [8] Table 7.3.2.5-1 for
NR band. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to both
carriers to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput of the NR carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance
according to Annex H.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band.

For test points in Table 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-6:

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-6 on the E-UTRA CC and NR CC. The SS sends downlink MAC
padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-6 on the E-UTRA CC and NR CC.
Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL
RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level for the E-UTRA CC and NR CC to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in
Tables 7.3B.2.3.5-1 to 7.3B.2.3.5-4. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink
scheduling information to both carriers to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the
Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput of both NR and E-UTRA for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical
significance according to Annex H.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for
EUTRA band.

NOTE 1: Both of the transmitters shall be set min(+20 dBm, PCMAX_L,c) as defined in clause 6.2.5A. In case Single UL is allowed and the UE only indicates support of "Single
UL" the output power of the active UL shall be set at PCMAX_L,c or set to the maximum output power according to the UE power scaling capability.
NOTE 2: RBSTART = 0
NOTE 3: This band is subject to IMD5 also which MSD is not specified.
NOTE 4: The symbol "REFSENS" in this table refers to the reference sensitivity values for single carrier specified in Table 7.3.5-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for 2 antenna port E-
UTRA band, Table 7.3_1.5-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for 4 antenna port E-UTRA band, Table 7.3.2.5-1 for 2 antenna port NR band and Table 7.3.2.5-2 for 4 antenna port
NR band.
NOTE 5: For UEs only indicating support of Single UL, this requirement is verified with non-simultaneous uplink transmissions on the E-UTRA and NR CGs.
NOTE 6: TT is the same as defined in Table 7.3B.2.3.5-1a.
NOTE 7: Applicable only if operation with 4 antenna ports is supported in the band with EN-DC configured.
NOTE 8: For a UE which supports this band combination only when the Band n77 frequency range restriction defined in NOTE 12 of Table 5.2-1 from TS 38.101-1 applies, the
MSD test point(s) cannot be verified for the band combination and the test point(s) can be skipped.
NOTE 9: This band is subject to IMD5 also which MSD is not specified.

7.3B.2.3_1 Reference sensitivity for EN-DC within FR1 (>2 CCs)

7.3B.2.3_1.1 Reference sensitivity for EN-DC within FR1 (3 CCs)


Editor's note: The test requirements section of this test case contains some EN-DC configurations that have no test points defined meaning these cannot be tested.

Editor's note: For EN-DC configurations with >1NR CC, test points in Table 7.3B.2.3_1.1.4.1-0 only need to be tested if the configuration is a max NR CC of the UE, where
detailed execution rules are FFS.

7.3B.2.3_1.1.1 Test purpose

To verify the ability of UE that support EN-DC configurations to receive data with a given average throughput for a specified reference measurement channel, under conditions
of low signal level, ideal propagation and no added noise when no CA exceptions are allowed and single carrier requirements apply whenever possible. A UE unable to meet the
throughput requirement under these conditions will decrease the effective coverage area.

7.3B.2.3_1.1.2 Test applicability

This test applies to all types of NR UE release 15 and forward supporting 3CC EN-DC.

7.3B.2.3_1.1.3 Minimum conformance requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.3B.2.0

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and
E-UTRA measurements are performed.

7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.1 Initial conditions

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE
to reach the correct measurement state.

The initial test configurations for E-UTRA consist of the test frequency based on E-UTRA operating band and test
channel bandwidth as specified in Table 4.6-1, with the exception that the E-UTRA channel bandwidth is the lowest
supported value in Table 5.3B.1.3-1 for the EN-DC non-contiguous configuration under test.

The initial test configurations consist of environmental conditions, test frequencies, test channel bandwidths and sub-
carrier spacing based on NR operating bands specified in Table 5.5B.2-1. The 4CC EN-DC configurations listed in
table 7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.1-0 shall not be tested according to TR 38.905 [7] test point analysis. The other 4CC configurations
shall be tested with applicable test parameters for each combination of test channel bandwidth and sub-carrier spacing,
and are shown in Tables 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-0 to 7.3B.2.3.4.2.1-1 for NR band. The details of the uplink reference
measurement channels (RMCs) are specified in Annex A.2. Configurations of PDSCH and PDCCH before
measurement are specified in TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex C2.

7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.2 Test procedure

1. NR SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL RMC according to Table
7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.2.1-1 on the NR CC. The NR SS sends downlink MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. NR SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0_1 for
C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.2.1-1. Since the UL has no payload and no
loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the appropriate REFSENS value defined in TS 38.521-1 [8], Table 7.3.2.5-1 for
NR band. Send continuously uplink power control "up" commands in the uplink scheduling information to NR
carrier to ensure the UE transmits PUMAX level for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement.

4. Measure the average throughput of the NR carrier for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance
according to Annex H.2 of TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band.

7.3B.2.3_1.2.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 38.508-1 [6] clause 4.6 Table 4.6.3-118 with condition
TRANSFORM_PRECODER_ENABLED for NR band.

Message contents exceptions for E-UTRA band are according to TS 36.521-1 [10] clause 7.3.4.3 for each network
signalling value. Message contents exceptions for NR band are according to TS 38.521-1 [8] clause 7.3.2.4.3 for each

In case there is a harmonic relation between low band UL and high band DL, then the maximum ΔRIB,c among
the different supported band combinations involving such band shall be applied.

- When the operating band frequency range is > 1 GHz, the applicable additional ΔRIB,c shall be the maximum
value for all band combinations defined in clause 7.3A, 7.3B, 7.3C in this specification and 7.3A, 7.3B in
TS 38.101-3 [4] for the applicable operating bands.

Unless ΔRIB,c is specified for the NE-DC configuration, the specified ΔRIB,c for the EN-DC configuration including
same bands as the corresponding NE-DC configuration is applicable for the NE-DC configuration.

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 38.101-3 [4] clause 7.3B.3.

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Tables 7.4B.1.4.1 on the E-UTRA CC and NR CC. The SS sends downlink MAC padding
bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and PDCCH DCI
format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.4B.1.4.1-1 on the E-UTRA CC and NR

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 664 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

CC. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits on the
UL RMC.

3. SS sets the Downlink signal level for the E-UTRA CC and NR CC to the value defined in Table 7.4B.1.5-1. For
NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure
that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -
MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.4B.1.5-1 for at least
the duration of the Throughput measurement, where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Measure the average throughput for each component carrier for duration sufficient to achieve statistical
significance according to Annex H.2 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for
EUTRA band.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.5B.1.4.2 Test Procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.5B.1.4.1-1 on the E-UTRA CC and NR CC, respectively. The SS sends downlink
MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and PDCCH DCI
format 0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.5B.1.4.1-1 on the E-UTRA CC and NR
CC. Since the UE has no payload data to send, the UE transmits uplink MAC padding bits on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5B.0.1-1 (Case 1). For NR CC and E-UTRA CC,
send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 681 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5B.0.1-1 for at least the duration of the
Throughput measurement, where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5B.0.1-1 (Case 1) and frequency below the
aggregated component carriers, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D.

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for EUTRA band.

6. Repeat steps from 3 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 at step 4.

7. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5B.0.1-2 (Case 2). For NR CC and E-UTRA CC,
send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.5B.0.1-2 for at least the duration of the
Throughput measurement, where MU and Uplink power control window size are defined above.

8. Set the Interferer signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.5B.0.1-2 (Case 2) and frequency below the
aggregated component carriers, using a modulated interferer bandwidth as defined in Annex D.

9. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for EUTRA band.

10. Repeat steps from 7 to 9, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 2 at step 8.

11. Repeat for applicable channel bandwidths and operating band combinations in both Case 1 and Case 2.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.6B.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC
padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 698 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in
Case 1 according to Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1.

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2.

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 at step 4.

7. Repeat steps from 4 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at steps 4 and 6.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

are defined in clause 7.6B.2.3_1.1.4.1.3.

7.6B.2.3_1.1.4.1.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.3_1.1.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink
MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.3_1.1.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in
Case 1 according to Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1.

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2.

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 at step 4.

7. Repeat steps from 4 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at steps 4 and 6.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.6B.2.3_1.2.4.1.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.3_1.2.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink
MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.2.3_1.2.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the parameters of the signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers in
Case 1 according to Table 7.6B.2.1.5-1.

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2.

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers in Case 1 at step 4.

7. Repeat steps from 4 to 6, using interfering signals in Case 2 at steps 4 and 6.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

Out-of-band band blocking is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling more than 15 MHz below or above
the UE receive band, at which a given average throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified
measurement channels.

For the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band the appropriate in-band blocking or adjacent channel

7.6B.3.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC
padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 717 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.3.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.3.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers
according to Table 7.6B.3.1.5-1. The frequency step size is 1MHz.

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2 in TS 38.521-1 [8] for NR band, and Annex G.2 of TS 36.521-1 [10] for EUTRA band.

6. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements.

7. Repeat steps from 4 to 6, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers at step 4.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

TS 38.521-1 [8] Annex A.3 for E-UTRA CG and NR CG respectively with parameters specified in Table 7.6B.3.1.5-1
for the specified wanted signal mean power in the presence of interfering signals.

The number of spurious response frequencies recorded in step 6 of test procedure shall not exceed max (24,6 ⋅ N RB ⋅ / 6 )

7.6B.3.3.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.3.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink MAC
padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.3.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.3.3.5-1, Table 7.6B.3.3.5-3, or Table
7.6B.3.3.5-5 for E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send uplink power control
commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system
is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB
of (PCMAX_L,c - 4dB) for E-UTRA CC, and of 29 dB below PCMAX_L,f,c for NR CC for at least the duration of the
Throughput measurement, where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

4. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers
according to Table 7.6B.3.3.5-4 or Table 7.6B.3.3.5-6. The frequency step size is min( CBW / 2 , 5 ) MHz.

If CW interferer falls in a gap between FDL_high of the E-UTRA or NR band and FDL_low of the NR or EUTRA
band, where the corresponding OOB ranges 1 and 2 in Table 7.6B.3.3.5-2 and Table 7.6B.3.3.5-4 or Table
7.6B.3.3.5-6 overlap, then the lower level interferer limit of the overlapping OOB ranges applies. CW interferer
is eliminated from FDL_low -15MHz to FDL_high + 15MHz of E-UTRA carrier.

If FDL_high of the lower E-UTRA or NR band is greater than or equal to the FDL_low of the upper NR or E-UTRA
band as in overlapping RX frequency ranges, then the OOB range shall start from the FDL_low of the lower E-
UTRA or NR band, and from the FDL_high of the upper NR or E-UTRA band.

For EN-DC combination listed in Table 7.6B.3.3.5-7, exceptions to the requirement specified in Table
7.6B.3.3.5-8 are allowed when the second order intermodulation product of the lower frequency band UL carrier
and the CW interfering signal fully or partially overlaps with the higher frequency band DL carrier.

5. Measure the average throughput of NR CC for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according
to Annex H.2. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet the requirements.

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers at step 4.

7. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.3.3.5-1, Table 7.6B.3.3.5-3, or Table
7.6B.3.3.5-5 for E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send uplink power control
commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system
is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink power control window size) dB
of (PCMAX_L,f,c - 4dB) for NR CC, and of 29 dB below PCMAX_L,c for E-UTRA CC for at least the duration of the
Throughput measurement, where:

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 722 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

8. Set the parameters of the CW signal generator for an interfering signal below the aggregated component carriers
according to Table 7.6B.3.3.5-2, Table 7.6B.3.3.5-4 or Table 7.6B.3.3.5-6 for E-UTRA CC and NR CC testing
respectively. The frequency step size is min( CBW / 2 , 5 ) MHz.

If CW interferer falls in a gap between FDL_high of the E-UTRA or NR band and FDL_low of the NR or EUTRA
band, where the corresponding OOB ranges 1 and 2 in Table 7.6B.3.3.5-2 and Table 7.6B.3.3.5-4 or Table
7.6B.3.3.5-6 overlap, then the lower level interferer limit of the overlapping OOB ranges applies. CW interferer
is eliminated from FDL_low -15MHz to FDL_high + 15MHz of E-UTRA and NR carriers.

If FDL_high of the lower E-UTRA or NR band is greater than or equal to the FDL_low of the upper NR or E-UTRA
band as in overlapping RX frequency ranges, then the OOB range shall start from the FDL_low of the lower E-
UTRA or NR band, and from the FDL_high of the upper NR or E-UTRA band.

9. Measure the average throughput of E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively for a duration sufficient to achieve
statistical significance according to Annex H.2. Record the frequencies for which the throughput doesn't meet
the requirements.

10. Repeat steps from 8 to 9, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers at step 8.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.6B.3.3_1 Out-of-band blocking for EN-DC within FR1 (>2 CCs)

7.6B.3.3_1.1 Out-of-band blocking for EN-DC within FR1 (3 CCs)

7.6B.3.3_1.1.1 Test Purpose

Out-of-band band blocking is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling more than 15 MHz below or above
the UE receive band, at which a given average throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified
measurement channels.

For the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band the appropriate in-band blocking or adjacent channel
selectivity in clause 7.6B.2.1 and clause 7.5B.1 shall be applied.

The lack of out-of-band blocking ability will decrease the coverage area when other NodeB transmitters exist (except in
the adjacent channels and spurious response).

7.6B.3.3_1.1.2 Test Applicability

This test case applies to all types of E-UTRA UE release 15 and forward, supporting intra-band contiguous EN-DC
within FR1 with 3 DL CCs.

7.6B.3.3_1.1.3 Minimum Conformance Requirements

The minimum conformance requirements are defined in clause 7.6B.3.0.1.

Exception requirements for both NR and E-UTRA are defined for this test and therefore LTE anchor agnostic approach
is not applied. E-UTRA test point analysis is included and E-UTRA measurements are performed.

7.6B.3.3_1.1.4 Test Description

7.6B.3.3_1.1.4.1 Initial condition

Initial conditions are a set of test configurations the UE needs to be tested in and the steps for the SS to take with the UE
to reach the correct measurement state.

7.6B.3.3_1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.3_1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink
MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.3.3_1.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 728 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.3.3_1.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC,
send uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.3.3_1.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)]
for NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers at step 4.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.6B.3.3_1.2 Out-of-band blocking for EN-DC within FR1 (4 CCs)

7.6B.3.3_1.2.1 Test Purpose

Out-of-band band blocking is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling more than 15 MHz below or above
the UE receive band, at which a given average throughput shall meet or exceed the requirement for the specified
measurement channels.

For the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band the appropriate in-band blocking or adjacent channel
selectivity in clause 7.6B.2.1 and clause 7.5B.1 shall be applied.

The lack of out-of-band blocking ability will decrease the coverage area when other NodeB transmitters exist (except in
the adjacent channels and spurious response).

7.6B.4.3_1.2.4.1.2 Test procedure

1. SS transmits PDSCH via PDCCH DCI format 1A and PDCCH DCI format 1_1 for C_RNTI to transmit the DL
RMC according to Table 7.6B.4.3_1.2.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC respectively. The SS sends downlink
MAC padding bits on the DL RMC.

2. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to Table 7.6B.4.3_1.2.4.1.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 743 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

3. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.6B.4.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.6B.4.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

5. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
H.2.

6. Repeat steps from 4 to 5, using an interfering signal above the aggregated component carriers at step 4.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.7B.1 Spurious Response for intra-band contiguous EN-DC (2 CCs)


7.7B.1.1 Test Purpose

Spurious response for EN-DC verifies the receiver's ability to receive a wanted aggregated signal on its assigned
channel frequency without exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted CW interfering signal at
any other frequency at which a response is obtained i.e. for which the out of band blocking limit as specified in
clause 7.6B.3.1 is not met.

The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at
any other frequency.

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance

7.7B.3 Spurious Response for inter-band EN-DC within FR1 (2 CCs)


7.7B.3.1 Test Purpose

Spurious response is a measure of the ability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel
frequency without exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted CW interfering signal at any other
frequency for which a response is obtained, i.e. for which the out-of-band blocking limit as specified in subclause
7.6B.3.3 is not met.

The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at
any other frequency.

7.7E.1 Spurious response for V2X operation


7.7E.1.1 Test purpose

Spurious response verifies the receiver's ability to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency without
exceeding a given degradation due to the presence of an unwanted CW interfering signal at any other frequency at
which a response is obtained i.e. for which the out of band blocking limit as specified in sub-clause 7.6E.2 is not met.

The lack of the spurious response ability decreases the coverage area when other unwanted interfering signal exists at
any other frequency.

7.7E.1.2 Test applicability

No exception requirements applicable to NR V2X operation or E-UTRA V2X operation. The requirements in this test
case can be well covered in clause 7.7 and 7.7G of TS 36.521-1 [10] and clause 7.7 and 7.7E of TS 38.521-1 [8] and
don’t need to be tested again.

7.8B.2.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 7.8B.2.1.4.1-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 760 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8B.2.1.5-1. For NR CC and E-UTRA CC, send
uplink power control commands to the UE using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power
measured by the test system is within the Uplink power control window, defined as -MU to -(MU + Uplink
power control window size) dB of the target power level in Table 7.8B.2.1.5-1 +( [10log(S_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for
NR CC, [10log(P_LCRB/NRB_alloc)] for E-UTRA CC) for at least the duration of the Throughput measurement,
where:

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size. and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

3. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in Table 7.8B.2.1.5-1 and frequency below the wanted
signal

4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
G.2.

5. Repeat steps from 2 to 4, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 3.

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The relationship
between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding possible actual
UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.2 Test procedure

1. SS sends uplink scheduling information for each UL HARQ process via PDCCH DCI format 0 and DCI format
0_1 for C_RNTI to schedule the UL RMC according to table 7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.2-1 on E-UTRA CC and NR CC
respectively. Since the UL has no payload and no loopback data to send the UE sends uplink MAC padding bits
on the UL RMC.

2. Set the Downlink signal level to the value as defined in Table 7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.2-1. For E-UTRA CC and NR CC
where uplink is allocated according to Table 7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.1-1, send uplink power control commands to the UE
using 1dB power step size to ensure that the UE output power measured by the test system is within the Uplink
power control window, defined as -MU to - (MU + Uplink power control window size) dB of the 4dB below
PCMAX_L with PCMAX_L as defined in clause 6.2B.4 for at least the duration of the Throughput
measurement.

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than, or no less than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The
relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding
possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

3. Set the Interfering signal levels to the values as defined in Table 7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.2-1 and frequency below the
wanted signal.

4. Measure the average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance according to Annex
G, clause G.2.

5. Repeat steps from 2 to 4, using an interfering signal above the wanted signal at step 3.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for component carriers listed in Table 7.8B.2.3_1.1.4.2-1.

- MU is the test system uplink power measurement uncertainty and is specified in Table F.1.3-1 for the carrier
frequency f and the channel bandwidth BW.

- For NR CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 0.7dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 38.101-1 [2], Table 6.3.4.3-1 and is 0.7dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1.

- For E-UTRA CC, Uplink power control window size = 1dB (UE power step size) + 1.0dB (UE power
step tolerance) + (Test system relative power measurement uncertainty), where, the UE power step tolerance
is specified in TS 36.101 [5], Table 6.3.5.2.1-1 and is 1.0dB for 1dB power step size, and the Test system
relative power measurement uncertainty is specified in Table F.1.2-1 of TS 36.521-1 [10].

NOTE: The purpose of the Uplink power control window is to ensure that the actual UE output power is no
greater than, or no less than the target power level, and as close as possible to the target power level. The
relationship between the Uplink power control window, the target power level and the corresponding
possible actual UE Uplink power window is illustrated in Annex F, clause F.4.

A.3 DL reference measurement channels for E-UTRA

A.3.1 General
The number of available channel bits varies across the sub-frames due to PBCH and PSS/SSS overhead. The payload
size per sub-frame is varied in order to keep the code rate constant throughout a frame.

Unless otherwise stated, no user data is scheduled on subframes #5 in order to facilitate the transmission of system
information blocks (SIB).

The algorithm for determining the payload size A is as follows; given a desired coding rate R and radio block allocation
NRB

1. Calculate the number of channel bits Nch that can be transmitted during the first transmission of a given sub-
frame.

2. Find A such that the resulting coding rate is as close to R as possible, that is,

 0, if C = 1
minR − ( A + 24* ( NCB + 1)) / Nch , where NCB = 
C, if C > 1,
subject to

a) A is a valid TB size according to clause 7.1.7 of TS 36.213 [6] assuming an allocation of NRB resource
blocks.

b) C is the number of Code Blocks calculated according to clause 5.1.2 of TS 36.212 [5].

3. If there is more than one A that minimizes the equation above, then the larger value is chosen per default and the
chosen code rate should not exceed 0.93.

4. For TDD, the measurement channel is based on DL/UL configuration ratio of 3DL+DwPTS (10 OFDM symbol
SSF7): 1UL.

F.4 Uplink power window

F.4.1 Introduction
A number of Tx and Rx Test cases set the UE uplink power to be within a defined window to ensure the test is carried
out in the intended conditions. This clause gives the method for calculating the uplink power window used in Tx test
cases and Rx Test cases.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 825 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

F.4.2 Setting the power window above a requirement


F.4.2.1 NR FR1
Information from the core requirements in TS 38.101-1 [2], TS 38.213 [19] and the uncertainties in Annex F applicable
to the Test case are used to derive the uplink power window. There are 4 stages:

- Find the uplink power target value.

- Determine how closely the uplink power can be set to the target value.

- Include the effect of test system uncertainty.

- Position the Uplink power window to ensure UE is not tested outside Core requirements.

This process is shown in the diagram below, using values for f ≤ 3GHz and BW ≤ 40MHz and taking an example where
the target value is 0dBm (lower end of a UE Core requirement side condition range of 0 dBm ≤ Output power ≤ 10
dBm):

Figure F.4.2.1-1: Example NR FR1 uplink power setting to be above a requirement

δPUSCH,b, f ,c
The smallest UE Power step size is defined in TS 38.213 [9] Table 7.1.1-1, for absolute .

The UE Power step size tolerance is defined in TS 38.101-1 [2] Table 6.3.4.3-1, for PUSCH to PUSCH transitions with
the allocated resource blocks fixed in frequency and no transmission gaps other than those generated by downlink
subframes, DwPTS fields or Guard Periods, and for a power step ΔP ≤ 1 dB.

The Test system uncertainties are defined in Annex F of the present document.

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 826 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

To ensure that the actual UE uplink power is within the Uplink power window, UE uplink power measured by the test
system should remain within the smaller Uplink power control window shown in Figure F.4.2.1-1.

F.4.2.2 NR FR2
Information from the core requirements in TS 38.101-2 [3], TS 38.213 [19] and the uncertainties in Annex F applicable
to the Test case are used to derive the uplink power window. There are 4 stages:

- Find the uplink power target value.

- Determine how closely the uplink power can be set to the target value.

- Include the effect of test system uncertainty.

- Position the Uplink power window to ensure UE is not tested outside Core requirements.

This process is shown in the diagram below, using values for FR2a and PUMAX ≥ P > Pint and taking an example where
the target value is Pint:

PUSCH transitions with the allocated resource blocks fixed in frequency and no transmission gaps other than those
generated by downlink subframes, Guard Periods, and for a power step ΔP = 1 dB.

The Test system uncertainties are defined in Annex F of the present document.

To ensure that the actual UE uplink power is within the Uplink power window, UE uplink power measured by the test
system should remain within the smaller Uplink power control window shown in Figure F.4.2.2-1.

F.4.2.3 E-UTRA
Information from the core requirements in TS 36.101 [5], TS 36.213 [20] and the uncertainties in Annex F applicable to
the Test case are used to derive the uplink power window. There are 4 stages:

- Find the uplink power target value.

- Determine how closely the uplink power can be set to the target value.

- Include the effect of test system uncertainty.

- Position the Uplink power window to ensure UE is not tested outside Core requirements.

This process is shown in the diagram below, using values for f ≤ 3GHz and BW ≤ 40MHz and taking an example where

F.4.3.1 NR FR1
Information from the core requirements in TS 38.101-1 [2], TS 38.213 [19] and the uncertainties in Annex F applicable
to the Test case are used to derive the uplink power window. There are 4 stages:

- Find the uplink power target value.

- Determine how closely the uplink power can be set to the target value.

- Include the effect of test system uncertainty.

- Position the Uplink power window to ensure UE is not tested outside Core requirements.

This process is shown in the diagram below, using values for f ≤ 3GHz and BW ≤ 40MHz and taking an example where
the target value is 4dB below PCMAX_L (UE Core requirement side condition):

Annex H (normative):
Statistical Testing
Editor's Note:

- Further investigate the technical details behind this statistical method to ensure that this is applicable for
FR2 radiated test cases.

H.1 General
This annex specifies mapping throughput to error ratio, pass fail limits and pass fail decision rules that are needed for
measuring average throughput for a duration sufficient to achieve statistical significance for testing receiver
characteristics.

H.2 Statistical testing of receiver characteristics


H.2.1 General
The test of receiver characteristics is twofold.

1. A signal or a combination of signals is offered to the RX port(s) of the receiver.

2. The ability of the receiver to demodulate /decode this signal is verified by measuring the throughput.

In (2) is the statistical aspect of the test and is treated here.

The minimum requirement for all receiver tests is >95% of the maximum throughput.

All receiver tests are performed in static propagation conditions. No fading conditions are applied.

H.2.2 Mapping throughput to error ratio


a) The measured information bit throughput R is defined as the sum (in kilobits) of the information bit payloads
successfully received during the test interval, divided by the duration of the test interval (in seconds).

b) In measurement practice the UE indicates successfully received information bit payload by signalling an ACK to
the SS.
If payload is received, but damaged and cannot be decoded, the UE signals a NACK.

c) Only the ACK and NACK signals, not the data bits received, are accessible to the SS.
The number of bits is known in the SS from knowledge of what payload was sent.

d) For the reference measurement channel, applied for testing, the number of bits is different in different slots,
however in a radio frame it is fixed during one test.

e) The time in the measurement interval is composed of successfully received slots (ACK), unsuccessfully received
slots (NACK) and no reception at all (DTX-slots).

f) DTX-slots may occur regularly according the applicable reference measurement channel (regDTX).
In real live networks this is the time when other UEs are served. In TDD these are the UL and special slots.
regDTX vary from test to test but are fixed within the test.

g) Additional DTX-slots occur statistically when the UE is not responding ACK or NACK where it should.
(statDTX)
This may happen when the UE was not expecting data or decided that the data were not intended for it.

The pass / fail decision is done by observing the:

- number of NACKs

ETSI
3GPP TS 38.521-3 version 17.4.0 Release 17 837 ETSI TS 138 521-3 V17.4.0 (2022-05)

- number of ACKs and

- number of statDTXs (regDTX is implicitly known to the SS)

The ratio (NACK + statDTX)/(NACK+ statDTX + ACK)is the Error Ratio (ER). Taking into account the time
consumed by the ACK, NACK, and DTX-TTIs (regular and statistical), ER can be mapped unambiguously to
throughput for any single reference measurement channel test.

H.2.3 Design of the test


The test is defined by the following design principles (see clause H.x, Theory….):

1. The early decision concept is applied.

2. A second limit is introduced: Bad DUT factor M>1

3. To decide the test pass:

- Supplier risk is applied based on the Bad DUT quality

- To decide the test fail

- Customer Risk is applied based on the specified DUT quality

The test is defined by the following parameters:

1. Limit ER = 0.05 (Throughput limit = 95%)

2. Bad DUT factor M=1.5 (selectivity)

3. Confidence level CL = 95% (for specified DUT and Bad DUT-quality)

The pass fail decision rules apply for a single test, comprising one component in the test vector. The over all Pass /Fail
conditions are defined in clause H.2.6and H.2A.6

Having observed 0 errors, pass the test at 67+ samples, otherwise continue

Having observed 1 error, pass the test at 95+ otherwise continue

Having observed 2 errors, pass the test at 119+ samples, fail the test at 2- samples, otherwise continue

Etc. etc.

Having observed 151 errors, pass the test at 2452+ samples, fail the test at 2433- samples, otherwise continue

Having observed 152 errors, pass the test at 2466+ samples, fail the test at 2451- samples.

Where x+ means: x or more, x- means x or less

NOTE 1: an ideal DUT passes after 67 samples. The maximum test time is 2466 samples.

NOTE 2: It is allowed to deviate from the early decision concept by postponing the decision (pass/fail or
continue). Postponing the decision to or beyond the end of Table H.2.4-1 requires a pass fail decision
against the test limit: pass the DUT for ER<0.0618, otherwise fail.

Annex M (normative):
Dual uplink interferer
UE is mandated to support operation in dual and triple uplink mode for EN-DC configuration in NR FR1 listed in Table
5.5B.2-1, Table 5.5B.3-1, and Table 5.5B.4.1-1 and indicated by column single uplink allowed, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.1-1,
Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-0, Table 7.3B.2.0.3.5.2-1 or NE-DC configuration in NR FR1 listed in Table 5.5B.4a.1-1 and
indicated by column single uplink allowed if the intermodulation products caused by the dual uplink operation do not
interfere with its own primary downlink transmission channel bandwidth. For intermodulation products falling into LTE
secondary downlink channel bandwidth, UE single UL capability is not considered.

Formula for determining if the EN-DC in NR FR1 configuration with dual uplink operation interferes with its own
downlink reception.

Interference bandwidth: IBW = |a| * CBW1 + |b| * CBW2

- |a| + |b| = 2 (or 3)

- CBW1 and CBW2 are the transmission bandwidth configurations of the UL channels

Center frequency of IBW: fIBW = |a * f1 + b * f2|

- f1 and f2 are center frequency of the transmission bandwidth configurations of each UL channel

The range of IMD 2 (or 3): [fIBW – IBW/2, fIBW + IBW/2]

NOTE 1: UE shall be able to apply operations which are configured by RRC reconfiguration and corresponding
HARQ timing on the transmission bandwidth.

NOTE 2: For identified difficult band combination, during two adjacent RRC reconfiguration, the changing of
transmission bandwidth should not introduce IM2 and IM3, which will result in UE changing from 2Tx to
1Tx. Otherwise, UE behavior is not specified.

For DC_3A_n3A intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC combination, only single switched UL is supported in Rel-15.

For DC_2A_n2A, DC_66A_n66A intra-band non-contiguous EN-DC combination, only single switched UL is
supported.
